Do women experience a greater level of ageism than men?

Unfortunately, yes! If you, as a woman, show any noticeable indications of ageing, it’s likely recruiters will not only find you less appealing but also less capable. Sometimes, it feels like society glorifies beauty and young age, and passing a certain age lowers your value, especially as a woman. Based on the statistics, around 75% of older women applying for jobs have faced ageism. It has forced many of them to hide their age as much as possible for the interviews. They wear different clothing and dye their gray hair. Some people even limit their career background to the past 20 years.
