3.

» Ageism is stereotyping and
discriminating against individuals or
groups on the basis of their age.

4.

» Most seniors are mentally and physically active
regardless of age with a great deal to contribute.
However, societal norms marginalize seniors,
treat them with disrespect, make them feel
unwelcome and otherwise generalize as if they
were all the same.

5.

» Ageism is discrimination or unfair treatment
based on a person’s age. It can impact on
someone’s confidence, job prospects, financial
situation and quality of life.

6.

» Age discrimination is often not taken as
seriously as other forms of discrimination.
However, it can have the same economic,
social and psychological impact as any other
form of discrimination.

7.

Older people may experience:
» Losing a job because of their age.
» Being refused interest-free credit, a new credit card, car
insurance or travel insurance because of their age.
» Receiving a lower quality of service in a shop or
restaurant because of the organization's attitude to
older people.

8.

» Not being eligible
for benefits such as
Disability Living
Allowance due to
age limits.
» Being refused a
referral from a
doctor to a
consultant because
you are ‘too old’.
» Being refused
membership to a
club or trade
association because
of your age.

9.

» To combat ageism it is necessary to raise
public awareness about its existence and
to dispel common stereotypes and
misperceptions about aging.

10.

» At the same time,
ageism can be
combated through
inclusive planning
and design which
reflects the
circumstances of
persons of all ages
to the greatest
extent possible.
