Abstract

Taking intersectionality theory as an analysis tool, by deconstructing the processing logic of age discrimination cases in the American anti-discrimination judicial practice, this paper reveals the institutional defects of the current judgment rules in dealing with the problem of compound discrimination. The study found that there is a tendency of "identity fragmentation" in the application of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) by federal courts, which makes it difficult for victims of compound discrimination to obtain effective relief. It is suggested to construct a three-dimensional review framework, conduct dynamic correlation analysis between the age element and other elements such as race and gender, and innovate the judicial relief system through the cascading burden-shifting framework and the dynamic compensation model.
