Age discrimination is a specific type of discrimination in the employment field,it should be prohibited by law.The universalist approach claims that there is no essential difference between age discrimination and other discrimination,and that mechanisms dealing with the latter can be transposed or adapted to prohibit age discrimination.In the case of age discrimination,the ambiguity of the scope of social groups,the lack of member homogeneity inside the age group,and the weak group relationship,all above pose challenges to the homogeny presupposition.The life-cycle theory,information screening mechanisms and the asymmetry of the identification process challenge the principle of symmetrical protection.We should adopt a particularist approach to the prohibition of age discrimination,which taking age seriously and differs from mainstream discrimination in terms of value ranking,protection modes and specific mechanisms.
