Summary/Abstract: The aim of my research is to carry out a problem-focused examination of the employment law aspects of age-based discrimination, a topic less frequently addressed in Hungarian legal literature so far, thereby exploring the anomalies inherent in the legislation as well as the resulting practice. Such research can help in adapting effectively to the challenges posed by the demographic changes currently taking place in our society. The fight against discrimination requires, above all, a stable regulatory background, which I undertake to present in the framework of this paper. The majority of age-based anti-discrimination legislation are at supranational, primarily EU level; however, in the course of my analysis, naturally I will also deal with Hungarian legislation.
