However, given that the age factor may constitute an illegitimate restriction of discrimination, it is fundamental that there is continuous questioning of the adequacy and necessity of the limits established, in light of the requirements to safeguard personal dignity and the right to equal treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be stressed that age is a prohibited discriminating factor, as derives from the Constitution, international human rights standards and European Union law. While differences of treatment on grounds of age are admissible, they must be proportionate and justified by a legitimate aim.<br>To read the recommendation, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.provedor-jus.pt\/documentos\/recomendacao-1-b-2021\/\">here<\/a> [in Portuguese only].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- RS_MODULE_CODE_2.5.3 --> <\/p>\n<div id=\"readspeaker_button27426\" class=\"rs_skip rs_preserve\"><a class=\"rs_href\" title=\"Ouvir com ReadSpeaker\" href=\"https:\/\/app-eu.readspeaker.com\/cgi-bin\/rsent?customerid=6394&amp;lang=pt_pt&amp;readid=rspeak_read_27426&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.provedor-jus.pt%2Fen%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F27426\" onclick=\"readpage(this.href, 'xp27426'); return false;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.provedor-jus.pt\/wp-content\/plugins\/enterprise_expanding_hl_wordpress-2x\/img\/icon_16px.gif\" alt=\"Ouvir com ReadSpeaker\" style=\"display: inline-block; margin-right: 5px;\"\/>Ouvir<\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"xp27426\" class=\"rs_addtools rs_splitbutton rs_preserve rs_skip rs_exp\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"rspeak_read_27426\"> The Ombudsman sent a recommendation to the Minister for Modernization of the State and Public Administration in order to promote inter-ministerial reflection, and consequent re-examination of the legal solutions in force, in relation to the prohibition of discrimination on grounds of age in access to public employment.
