How would you feel about working for a younger boss? Research from the University of Pennsylvania shows that one reason younger managers are reluctant to hire older workers , is that many are uncomfortable in managing them. #ageism #AdvocatesForAgeing

Should there be an age limit on running for President? Former President Jimmy Carter thinks so. “I hope there’s an age limit. If I were just 80 years old, if I was 15 years younger, I don’t believe I could undertake the duties I experienced as President.” Fair or ageism? #ageing

Could later life be more enjoyable than early life? Getting older does not mean you can’t learn new skills, improve your fitness or your memory. We believe that ageing is the gift that keeps on giving, do you? #AgeingWell

In the UK, the average age of advertising employees is just under 34. This must change, but it’s not an excuse for ageist adverts. Claiming we can only ever be understood by our peers fuels further segregation between generations. ALL ages need to connect & understand each other.

Celebrating #UNIDOP UN has defined ‘older’ as 60+, but we shouldn’t resign this day just to this demographic. After all, what does ‘older’ really mean? We are all older now than a second ago; we’re all ageing. This day is just as important for those under 60 as it is for 60+

Today is #UNIDOP - International Day Of Older Persons. But how far would you go to lie about your age? One person has tried to legally change their date of birth in court in order to be more employable!! #ageism

The results are in: "It seems designers’ efforts toward age representation have stalled. Not only did 50-and-over models walk in fewer shows, several high-profile fashion brands that hired veteran models last season neglected to do so in Spring 2020." thefashionspot.com/runway-news/84…

Today on Jeremy Vine | Here, on Tiktok, Insta & Facebook BBC Radio 2 show - is the term "granny" ageist? At The Bias Cut we believe so. It's a patronising & sexist way to describe older women, regardless of whether they're a grandparent. We even included in in our #ageismisneverinstyle STRIKE OUT AGEISM campaign
