In some countries, it is illegal for companies to reject job applicants for their age. Is this a positive or negative development?

Few states around the world made a law for the companies to avoid rejecting resumes based on the

age

of the applicant. In my opinion, it is a positive development. Rejection should be purely based on the skill but not on the terms of

age

. There is a growing trend around the world, especially in the developing countries where corporations stopped recruiting the older people to reduce the cost and
