[quote=Anonymous]We all know that women in their 50s have a harder time getting hired than almost anyone else, and that ageism is a factor. With reports that Trump might actually go through with his promise to put in place six weeks guranteed paid maternity leave (I know mothers only are in his plan, but who knows what would happen in Congress), could this help fight ageism? Let's assume for this thought experiment that it ends up being paid parental leave, offered to women and men for birth or adoption. Would that make companies look a little harder at diversifying the "life stages" of their employees to help spread the expense of the benefit? In this respect, post-menopausal women would be the least likely group to use the benefit (yes, they could adopt, but they are the least likely bunch to have new kids).[/quote]
