When we talk about celebrating ageing, what do we mean? And what has that got to do with challenging ageism?
From jokes on birthday cards to #ageist headlines in the media, we unfortunately live in a society where ageing is often seen as something to commiserate - not something to celebrate.

Did you know that research tells us that multi-generational teams are more productive and innovative?
Older workers bring incredible value to workplaces, yet one in three people aged over 50 believe they have been turned down for a job because of their age.

Tired of ageism limiting us as we get older? Wish you could smash ageist stereotypes?

While the media often pits generations against each other, Global Intergenerational Week (24 - 30 April) is a good time to remember that negative assumptions around age harm us all – and we can change this together by talking about ageism.

When did you last notice ageism?
From images used in the media to the phrases that we use without questioning them, we’re so surrounded by ageism that we’ve become used to it, and we don’t always notice it.

“When you look at the UK labour market, if you fall out of work & you're older, it's very hard for you to get back" says Kim.

“I often find that people treat me very differently when I tell them how old I am, it can be very patronising”, John told us.
“Since turning 70 I feel as though age is merely a number – I still feel the same as I did when I was 48! Unfortunately, this is not how other people feel."

Others assuming that you are less capable, that your opinions are less relevant, that you are too old to be interested in certain things.
These are some of the ordinary and everyday assumptions that people can make of others simply because they are older.

“I’d like younger people to see older people as healthy, stroppy, vibrant...all the range of things that other ages are too. I want them to know that there’s still fun to be had, still a future. As a generation they will be living longer, and you don’t want more years to be ill or miserable!"

‘You look good for your age.’
A back-handed compliment if ever we heard one. Is looking good and looking older incompatible??
When it comes to looks, a sexist double-standard often rears its head as we age: older men are ‘distinguished’ while women with grey hair have ‘let themselves go’.

Ageism is bad for everyone.
But women can face extra barriers and layers of inequality as they age when sexism combines with ageism.
More than one in three (36%) women over 50 say they have been patronised because of their age.

A shocking one in three people aged over 50 believe they have been turned down for a job because of their age, despite research showing that mixed-age teams are more innovative and productive.

We had so many brilliant responses to our question ‘Are you too old for gigs’ that we had to share just a few!
It’s great to see that lots of us aren't feeling inhibited by what others may think we should or shouldn’t be doing because of our age.
