AnnotationAlthough the majority of wealth and assets are held by the 50-65 age group, 95% of advertising revenue is aimed at under 35s. Much of the advertising that is aimed at older people is stereotypical in its attitudes and the images portrayed. The seminar focused on three major points: the scale of the problem; the underlying causes and how these can be tackled; and what role Help the Aged can play. Appendices include the findings of a survey of television commercials, undertaken as part of Help the Aged's campaign against age discrimination. (RH).
