Discrimination based on sex: Termination of women's employment at a lower age than men - violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 12 ECHR

EUROPE: GENDER DISCRIMINATION IN CIVIL-SERVICE RETIREMENT AGES

European Court of Human Rights, judgment, 20 December 2022, Moraru and Marin v. Romania (applications nos. 53282/18 and 31428/20)

"The case concerned the compulsory retirement age for female civil servants in Romania, previously set lower than that set for men, and an allegation of discrimination. The Court found in particular that not giving the applicants the option to continue to work past the retirement age for women and until they reached the retirement age set for men had constituted discrimination based on sex."
