It has become a potent feature of how society is structured and how it views itself. Age assumptions mould the behaviours of young and old alike, and are used as political tools by policy makers and managers. Organizing Age asks the perennial question - can age ever not matter? Drawing on range of social scientific and popular writings, this book casts a critical eye over the social construction and politicization of age in and beyond organizations. Amongst other topics, it discusses: the historical roots of age 606 $aAge and employment 606 $aAge discrimination 606 $aAge 606 $aAgeism 606 $aOrganizational sociology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aAge and employment. 615 4$aAge discrimination. 615 4$aAge. 615 4$aAgeism. 615 4$aOrganizational sociology. 676 $a302.35 676 $a302.35084 700 $aFineman$b Stephen$0116723 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457290903321 996 $aOrganizing Age$92028342 997 $aUNINA
