Kurzfassung:
The Covid-19 pandemic has intensified the phenomenon of discriminationagainst senior citizens in labor market. These citizens were classified by theWorld Health Organization as “high-risk” for developing seriouscomplications because of the Covid-19 virus, therefore the restrictions ontheir freedom and wellbeing were severe. These also affected their ability to work, although some were forced to continue working due to a pooreconomic situation.Traditionally, senior citizens were perceived as a group with “special needs”only because of their age as criteria for discrimination. The ageismphenomena affected senior citizens even before the outbreak of the Covid-19virus, but during the Covid-19 period the narratives expressed by the mediaand the government regarding the third age group were over-vulnerabilityand burden on the health care system.This complexity is also clearly reflected in our research results conductedamong 18 government ministries regarding the adoption of GovernmentDecision 592 that was made in November 2020, to promote the employmentof senior citizens in the government ministries service. Research findingsindicate a very low rate of senior citizens’ employment expansion ingovernment ministries service since the date of Government Decision 592was made, and in sharp contrast to the government statement of successionpilot of senior citizens absorption in the government ministries service.
