Age discrimination is an act or a pattern of action that distinguishes another person or group of people based on how old they are, and then uses that to limit their rights in some way. Most examples of this type of conduct involve distinguishing people over age 50; though in some case age discrimination may involve conduct against the rights of young people. This kind of conduct is protected in general by the Constitution, but more particularly by a wide number of federal laws, administrative rulings and the decisions of the federal courts.
