Ageism is a form of discrimination and prejudice that is based on a person's age. It involves stereotyping, stigmatization, and marginalization of individuals solely because of their age. Often pervasive in various settings, such as the workplace, healthcare, and social interactions, ageism can have a detrimental impact on the well-being and opportunities available to older people. It reinforces negative beliefs and assumptions about capabilities, leading to exclusion and limited access to resources. Recognizing ageism and working towards dismantling these stereotypes is crucial for creating a more inclusive and equitable society for people of all age groups.
