The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a federal agency responsible for enforcing laws against workplace discrimination, including age discrimination. The protection against age discrimination specifically begins at the age of 40. This is established under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967.
The ADEA makes it unlawful to discriminate against individuals who are 40 years of age or older in matters of employment. This means that hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoffs, training, benefits, and any other term or condition of employment cannot be influenced by a person’s age, once they are covered by the Act.
The main purpose of the ADEA and the EEOC's enforcement of it is to protect older employees and job applicants from being unfairly treated due to their age. This is especially important as older individuals remain in the workforce longer and seek equal opportunities for advancement and fair treatment.
Therefore, the correct multiple choice option for when EEOC's protection against age discrimination begins is:
b. 40 years
