The correct answer is the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)

Explanation:

Passed by the US Congress in 1967, the initial inception of ADEA was to prohibit job market discrimination on the basis of age, protecting workers and individuals from the so-called "older worker" population (between 40 and 70 year-old) to guarantee equal employment opportunities.
