History

Historical Context

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) was enacted in 1967 to protect workers over 40 from age-based discrimination, complementing earlier civil rights legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Since 2000, age discrimination complaints have surged by 30%, highlighting ongoing challenges. A recent lawsuit by former USAID employees against the Trump administration underscores the persistent struggle for workplace equality and could shape future age discrimination policies.
