| Annotation | Presents findings from the European Social Survey (ESS) which compared data from nearly 55,000 individuals from 28 European countries exploring different aspects of ageism and age discrimination. The purpose of the study was to support policy work which is pressing for age discrimination measures in the UK and the European Union, including the Equality Act 2010. In particular the survey asked the following questions: At what age are people seen as young or old? What are respondents' experiences of age discrimination? Do people accord different levels of social status to different age groups? Are young or old people seen as threats to society? What is the quality and quantity of intergenerational contact? (JL). |
