Abstract/Description:

The EU age discrimination ban and its weaker template as compared to other grounds of discrimination is the focus of this chapter. It begins with a thorough presentation and discussion of the CJEU’s case law in relation the 2000/78/EC Employment Equality Directive, including compulsory retirement, and continues by addressing age discrimination bans in the area of healthcare/medical care through the example of Sweden. Here, too, we recognize the weaker template and the double bind of the age discrimination ban – now creating a scope for the collective interest approach within a cost-effectiveness logic and adhering to internal comparisons of equality rather than inclusion and equality in the liberal tradition. Age discrimination, European Union, double bind, weaker template, employment, compulsory retirement, healthcare
