One in three (33%) employees in Ireland say they have experienced age discrimination in the workplace, according to a new report. When it comes to all forms of discriminatory behaviour it comes second to that based on gender, cited by 36%.

And 58% said they believed older workers were “less tech savvy” than their younger counterparts.
