Its mostly what I hear from the postdocs in my lab. In Japan older companies seem to prefer to hire a more homogeneous work force. Also in The Netherlands some tech companies (including one I interned at) were reprimanded for having a hiring process that discriminated against older applicants. The company I worked for had as requirement in their job ad "graduated less than 3 years ago".
