Explanation & Answer
ADEA means age discrimination in employment an act of 1967 in us constitution. this act aims at eradicating discrimination at work place according to the age of an individual. this assists old employees to;
- retain employment even in times of low productivity

- compete favourably with young generation who find more acceptability at work place.
- participate actively in nation building
- avoid wage or salary discrimination

- demotivating young people by reducing their pay to cater for old who are less productive
- denying them a chance in nation building
