AGE DIMENSION IN EMPLOYERS’ RECRUITMENT AND PROMOTION
DECISIONS
The

exercises.

EMPLOYERS’
AWARENESS, PERCEPTIONS AND PRACTICES ON AGE DISCRIMINATION
IN EMPLOYMENT

extent to which age and age-related criteria feature in
employers’ policies and practices (covering such issues as
recruitment and promotion, access to training, retirement
and redundancy), as well as employers’ awareness of
proposals for age legislation.
THE
IMPACT OF AGE DISCRIMINATION LEGISLATION ON EMPLOYERS’
RECRUITMENT PRACTICES: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY
The
introduction of age discrimination could well have
significant effects on business practices, especially
regarding recruitment, promotion, training and termination
(including retirement).
This study will look at organisations' current
practices and, based on a series of visits, will track over
a five year period what happens in these organisations
around the time and after the legislation comes into force.
PART-TIME
WORKERS AND PRODUCTIVITY: SECONDARY ANALYSIS (LFS &
BHPS)
This study will explore the extent to which
legislation has made any difference in the extent to which
part-time workers are disadvantaged in terms of pay and
training against full-time workers.
THE
SCOPE AND CONTENT OF NEW TRADE UNION RECOGNITION AGREEMENTS
The Employment Act 1999
provides a statutory procedure for the recognition of trade
unions for collective bargaining. The recently published
review of the Act has shows that it has worked well and that
over a thousand deals for voluntary recognition have been
voluntary agreed since 1998. This study will review the
scope and content of new agreements made in the context of
the Act; including, the extent they include reference to
pensions, training or (non-pay) equality issues and how they
feature in practice.

FOR WORKING PARENTS
This
study will look at the awareness, take-up of the new rights
