| The devastating impact of ageist attitudes on people, jobs, health, the economy and social cohesion has been revealed in our new report, Ageism: What’s the harm?. For example: Ageism is rife in the workplace, with more than a third of 50-70 year olds feeling that their age disadvantages them when applying for jobs. Age can have a bearing on your access to health and care, for example, older people with breast cancer are less likely to receive radiotherapy and surgery than younger people. Everyone, everywhere has a stake in changing how we view older age. Take the first step by joining our Age-friendly Movement.
