Ageism and the Contemporary Workplace

Ageism is a real issue in the workplace today with the increase in life expectancy. There is a tendency for discrimination against the older adults in the workplace by the more youthful workforce. The tendency is to think that the older persons should be home rather than in the workspace. This discrimination can have great effects on the older persons in the workforce who need to survive with various financial demands. This paper therefore reviews the situation of ageism and proposes various recommendations to be adopted in order to manage the problem of ageism within the workspace.
