Combating ageism Sample Clauses

Combating ageism. ‌ Similar to the experience of isolation and loneliness, ageism negatively affects older adults’ health and well-being. The act of discriminating someone because of their age can bring nefarious consequences for the victims as well as for societies more broadly. According to the 2021 WHO “Global Report on Ageism”, the latter “arises when age is used to categorize and divide people in ways that lead to harm, disadvantage and injustice and erode solidarity across generations” (WHO, 2021, p.xv). Xxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxxxxx et al. (2020) observe how age stereotypes affect older adults’ behaviours, generating adverse long-term effects on their health. Furthermore, citing the work of Xxxx et al. (2019), Xxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxxxxx et al. (2020) highlight the relationship between a positive aging self-perception and predicted self-reported functional health and longevity. Actively combating ageism is therefore key, as there are still many older adults who suffer ageism but do not report their experienced discrimination (WHO 2021). Evidence shows that interventions that nurture intergenerational interaction are one of the most effective efforts to reduce ageism, acting on the way one thinks, feels and acts. Intergeneration initiatives also seem to be affordable and relatively unproblematic to implement (WHO, 2021). Moreover, educational initiatives, awareness campaigns, and anti-discrimination legislation also help addressing ageism. In Ireland, the Employment Equality Acts (IHREC, 2015) frames ageism as a legal offence, while in Spain it is considered a hate crime with aggravating circumstances from a legal point of view.
