8. Is the new law really saying that I need quotas for each age group on my workforce?

No. In fact the consultation document quite specifically excluded any legal requirement for quotas. It did, however, suggest that it would be good practice for employers to establish how many employees they had within what age groups, and use this to check whether they conformed to the spirit of the age discrimination legislation - for example, whether each age group was receiving similar levels of training.
