Ageism in Employment

Ageism in employment refers to discrimination against individuals based on their age, which can affect both older and younger workers. This bias may manifest as assumptions about a person's capabilities, adaptability, or productivity due to their age. Older employees may face stereotypes that they are less tech-savvy or resistant to change, while younger workers might be perceived as inexperienced or irresponsible. Such ageist attitudes can lead to unfair hiring practices, limited career advancements, and a less inclusive workplace. Recognizing and combating ageism is essential for fostering a diverse and productive workforce.
