I see a strong conflation of "older" with "lots of personal responsibilities" that affect job performance.
It's clearly true that 30 year olds are more likely to have kids then 20 year olds, but it seems 40 and 50 year olds get "blamed" for being unproductive because of things like kids, mortgages, etc, than do the 30 year olds.
The interesting study is the 45 year old with no kids, house or marriage. Are they "old" too ?
