A weakness in human rights laws
Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Growing concerns about ageism require broader interpretation of current human rights treaties in order to recognize the challenges older people face in societies around the world. Together with the impact of soft laws, this can help change perceptions of old people and eradicate the stereotyping and prejudices that often inspire a range of subsequent harmful behaviors and actions. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
