Ageism

This discrimination can start at a young age and affect our perceptions of aging as we grow older. Implicit biases, unconscious attitudes, and beliefs often underlie ageism and lead to quick judgments about older individuals.

Ageism can have negative impacts on our health, leading to higher healthcare costs and making us more prone to sickness. Additionally, ageism can hinder the economy by excluding experienced older workers from participating in the workforce.

Ageism is global issue. Immediate action is needed to implement effective anti-ageism strategies. Ageism leads to social isolation, poorer health, earlier deaths, and costs billions to economies.
