The problem of discrimination on the grounds of age in the workplace is particularly topical not only in Poland but also in Europe as a whole. The paper presents the essence of the discrimination and its most common manifestations. The results of own research on the youngPoles' perception of the discrimination on grounds of age in the workplace, intergenerational competition in the labour market and some of the factors shaping these situations are also presented. Young Poles notice the problem of discrimination on grounds of age in the workplace and are willing to admit that it applies to people aged over 55. They indicate the weaknesses of the elderly and assess themselves as more attractive in the labour market. But at the same time they are aware that the elderly have some unique competencies, which may explain the youth's views on the intergenerational competition in the labour market
