Age Discrimination, Job Separations, and Employment Status of Older Workers: Evidence from Self-Reports Journal of Human Resources 32,4 (Fall 1997): 779-811. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/146428 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Age and Ageing; Discrimination, Age; Employment; Job Turnover; Labor Market Outcomes; Self-Reporting This paper explores the consequences of age discrimination in the workplace by analyzing self-reports of discrimination in the National Longitudinal Survey of Older Men, for the period 1966-80. Workers with positive reports were much more likely to separate from their employer and less likely to remain employed than workers who report no employer related age discrimination. The findings for job separations, but not employment status, are robust to numerous attempts to correct the estimates for the inherent limitations of self-reported data, particularly heterogeneity in the propensity to report discrimination, the influence of mandatory retirement, and the possibility that other negative labor market outcomes are attributed to discrimination. |
