Both, the AGG and Art. 1 of Directive 2000/78/EC aim to protect all ages (regardless of young or old) against discrimination based on the former. Since the term “age” (in German “Alter”) is often understood as aiming at discrimination based on a high age, it is recommended that this be changed to the term of “Lebensalter” (stages of life), which would unequivocally imply a discrimination grounded on all ages.
