New campaign to tackle prejudice against over-50s
Daily Express
|January 16, 2024
HALF of people aged over 50 say they have been treated with disrespect in the past year because of their age.
Those in their 50s and 60s experience ageism most often at work (37%) while people aged 70 and above most keenly feel it on social media, TV, films and news reports (44%).
But 29% of this group have experienced it in health or in social care. And 23% have felt it on public transport.
For people in their 50s and 60s, just over a fifth (22%) have faced it in social settings.
The survey was carried out for a new anti-ageism campaign by the Centre for Ageing Better.
