Default Re: Is there age discrimination in hiring seniors?

Thanks for the info. I did a couple of short ESL teaching stints while working at Yokosuka base in '90 and enjoyed it. I love Japan, esp. Kyoto. Is it illegal to discriminate only in Japan, not China or Korea? I notice some schools and recruiters advertise an age range - up to 55, etc. I agree some seniors are "over the hill" and not too flexible. Having traveled to Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, I know what to expect regarding living conditions, etc. As long as I don't have to bicycle to school, I should be OK.
