This is a very general question, which looks like it is intended to get a rise out of people.

As my sarcastic question (intended only to bring the nature of this post to light) was modded.

Therefore, I will state this directly. If you want a serious discussion on this matter, it would be helpful to provide a specific context to the question. Details are needed to receive a useful answer.

Without further detail, the general answer to your question is "Yes."

I suspect many who may have something useful to contribute will keep out of this, as the original post looks quite suspicious. Either way, I hope you get something useful out of this and will sign off by saying I won't be adding to this discussion further.

You already answered this question here:

Yes, there is age and gender discrimination in Japan. Females ALWAYS get FIRST priority (qualifications and experience not important to the Japanese employer, and the younger the better) then of course the blue-eyed under thirty guys, next are the ppl in their thirties and anyone over 45 (with or without teaching qualifications/experience - not important in Japan) well it's tough very tough......the EFL market is extremely competitive in Japan even with wages and work conditions not so attractive.
