noun
discriminação por idade
1. unfair or prejudicial treatment of individuals or groups based on their age, particularly in employment, housing, services, or other areas

Age-based discrimination is a significant legal and social issue in both the United States and Brazil. In the US, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967 protects workers aged 40 and older. In Brazil, age discrimination is prohibited under the Federal Constitution and labor laws, though enforcement can vary. The term is increasingly prevalent in discussions about workplace equality, as both countries grapple with aging populations and economic concerns about hiring and retirement practices.
