KeywordsAgeism.
AnnotationAgeism, or discrimination against individuals because of their age, is a problem for both the individual and society. This article examines ageism as a prejudice against older people (over 65s) from the perspectives of social work, sociology, psychology, and human communication. An explanation of how ageism is manifested and communicated is offered in an attempt to provide an understanding of its impact on the individual, on society, and on service provision. (RH).
