Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse the impact of age as a selection criteria in employment relation. Firm?s decisions relating to training and promotion are considered crucial: because they contribute to design employees? productive abilities, they have an impact on recruitment and lay-off decisions. Various theories of employment relation are used, selected upon their capacity to express the dynamic dimension of wage relation, thus offering a way to take age into account: human capital theory, labour as a quasi-fixed factor analysis, tournament models, delayed payment contract models and internal market analysis. All these theories underscore strong tendencies to operate a selection against older workers, tendencies deriving both from the research of economic efficiency and from the nature of the prevailing employment relation.
