University of North Dakota Poll

University of North Dakota (1986) poll asked a general discrimination question that uased age as a variable or answer category. The question asked how important the sample though each categories are in terms of treating people differently. The variable indicated were race, religion, sex, age, physical handicap, national origin, mental illness, or mental retardation. This example illustrates how “age’ as a form of discrimination was acknowledged but used only as a one of the many variables in discrimination against individuals at large and not only at employment.
