  • Age inequality manifests in numerous settings, such as the workplace and the health care system.

    “It also manifests in numerous settings, such as the workplace and the health care system.”

    From Centering Age Inequality: Developing a Sociology-of-Age Framework (2022) · cites this paper as Perron 2018

    The ‘About the Survey’ section describes age discrimination in employment as a persistent problem, and ‘Age discrimination in the workplace is common’ reports that older workers have seen or experienced it. The paper does not address age inequality in the health care system, so it supports only the workplace example, not the claim that it manifests in both settings. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Age discrimination cases are difficult to prove since the law permits unintentional age discrimination, and employers can readily cloak their actions in the seemingly age-neutral language of cost savings.

    “These cases, however, are difficult to prove since the law permits unintentional age discrimination, and employers can readily cloak their actions in the seemingly age-neutral language of cost savings (Perron 2018, Roscigno et al. 2007).”

    From Centering Age Inequality: Developing a Sociology-of-Age Framework (2022) · cites this paper as Perron 2018

    The section on age-discrimination protections says the Supreme Court made workplace age discrimination harder to prove than other types of discrimination. Our copy does not say the law permits unintentional age discrimination or that employers disguise their actions as cost savings. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • An AARP survey of nearly 4,000 workers aged 45 and older revealed that 61% had either experienced or seen age discrimination, with the majority believing that it is common and that it begins when workers are in their fifties.

    “Regarding the workplace, an AARP survey of nearly 4,000 workers aged 45 and older revealed that 61% had either experienced or seen age discrimination, with the majority believing that it is common and that it begins when workers are in their fifties (Perron 2018).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
