Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien är att undersöka huruvida ålder påverkar rekryterares första urval samt få en förståelse för möjliga bakomliggande faktorer till hur åldersdiskriminering kan uppstå. Detta har utförs genom en experimentell metod där rekryterare fritt får resonera och göra urval bland fiktiva ansökningshandlingar. Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ experimentell forskningsansats där åtta rekryterare har intervjuats på fyra olika organisationer. Studien fokuserar på vilka bakomliggande faktorer som kan bidra till hur åldersdiskriminering kan uppstå vid ett urval. De bakomliggande faktorerna som framkom i studien var att det kan bero de diskurser i form av antaganden och egna värderingar, den interna integrationen i form av företagskulturen samt den externa anpassningen som innefattas av beställaren.
