The most recent reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) describes ageism as encompassing stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination based on age, affecting both individuals and groups across various stages of life and professional development. One can portray these components further to understand how age-based biases manifest in different dimensions:
- How we think? (stereotypes)
- How we feel? (prejudice)
- How we act? (discrimination)

I think ageism can affect individuals at every stage of their career and is prevalent across diverse industries and sectors. It’s a relevant diversity topic and in the future, we will see its impact on society as a whole.
