• 1. Introduction 2. Methodology 3. A Doctrinal Critique of UK Age Discrimination Laws 4. Expert Perspectives on the Operation of Age Discrimination Laws 5. Generalising the Qualitative Findings—Quantitative Analysis of WERS6 6. A Comparative Perspective—The Case of Finland 7. Explaining the Quantitative Findings—Organisational Case Studies 8. Constructing Future Scenarios—The Delphi Method 9. Conclusion

Overall, this is an ambitious book that succeeds in locating an analysis of the limitations of age discrimination law within a wider context of policy and organisational practices that favour compliance rather than the pursuit of best practice... the author demonstrates a high level of competency with mixed methods and establishes a good case for the utility of socio-legal research. The book deserves to be read not just by legal scholars and students of jurisprudence, for whom the political economy and mixed methods approaches will be insightful, but anyone with an interest in age discrimination in employment, i.e., frankly, us all.
