Read an article in a trade magazine recently that said when sending a c:v's to employers obviously keep it brief; gear it to the job description and if you're over 50, under no circumstances put your dob or age.
Same was suggested for marital status.
Companies should read and select for interview based on relevant data.
Not feed any implied hiring policy based on age or marital or parental status as that's discrimination.

@Picklebobble2 Ageism absolutely is a thing in the industry. My dad was targeted by by his old company. When he hit the end of his contract, They issued him a new one and then the very next day retracted it.
Became a big hubbub. He had to go to the ministry that deals with worker welfare. But after arbitration my dad realised he should leave since they obviously didn't value him.
He found another company in the same field that paid him better and 12 years on he's still there.
My dad's case is a bit rare though he works as an instructor for Aviation engineers.

@Picklebobble2 I just hate that it exists. As long as people can still contribute why prevent them from doing so? It can't be all cold dollars and cents calculation, they should look at the human being behind the CV.
