Age discrimination refers to the unequal treatment of individuals based on their age, often manifesting in the workplace or in social interactions. It can affect hiring decisions, promotions, job assignments, and terminations. This form of discrimination can impact both younger and older individuals, but it is most commonly associated with older employees who may face stereotypes about their capabilities or adaptability. Age discrimination is not only unethical but also illegal in many jurisdictions, as it violates laws designed to protect workers from bias. Addressing age discrimination involves promoting awareness, implementing fair policies, and fostering inclusive environments that value diversity in age.
