Not all people are aware or able to fully comprehend how complex, widespread, and potentially damaging the phenomenon of ageism is. Dr. Williams from the University of Melbourne is an expert on the relationship between age and the job market. She explains ageism’s various harmful effects. “It is a problem for seniors who are being judged without reference to their own personal skills and qualities. Assumptions are made about older adults as they are seen to be a member of a particular group, much like the biased assumptions sometimes made against others based on their race, sex or other characteristics.”
And like racism and sexism, ageism is a social and economic issue. In 2017, 15 percent of the Australian population was above 65, while in 1977, it was 9 percent. By 2057, it’s expected to be about 22 percent. The wise thing to do is to remain vigilant, recognize stereotyping, and avoid assumptions about an age group.
