Frequently,
I see job advertisements in Japan specifying only people under 40 can apply.Recently I’ve seen two job listings that
require the applicants be 35 or under! We, Kamifurano Board of
Education, are recruiting an Assistant English Teacher as follows: … Applicants must: have a valid residence card or alien card (with Instructor's Visa) possess at least a Bachelor's degree or
equivalent educational training speak English as his/her first language … be 35 years old or younger
Hokusei Gakuen University Junior College, Department of
English Title of
position: Lecturer (専任講師), fulltime Qualifications:
… Under 35 years of age (regardless of experience) and the
willingness to continue employment for a long period of time with a focus on
professional development (The age limit is set relative to regulations found in
“雇用対策法施行規則第1条の3第1項第3号イ”).
That would be totally illegal in the UK! Well, actually there would be nothing stopping the university finally selecting someone of the desired age range when it came down to it, but they wouldn't be allowed to *advertise* it like this. Perhaps the Asians are more honest about it??
Interesting...I think that would be against the law here in Australia to advertise the age required.
ReplyDeleteAge segregation is also illegal here in the UK.
