Despite the majority of respondents wanting to retire after the age of 65, 53% believe that it will be difficult to keep their job or get a new one starting at age 50.
TweetShareShare Ageism is recognized by the World HealthOrganization as a “prevalent and insidious problem,” and can act as a dangerous employment discrimination tactic, even if it’s unintentional. The fastest growing segment of the American workforce is employees aged 65 and older, according to AARP, yet new survey results show that a majority of people experience ageism before the age of 45.
This past summer, Fairygodboss surveyed 1,000 people over the age of 40 to understand the prevalence of ageism in the workplace, learn how it affects employees, and determine what employers can do to better combat ageism at work. They initially set out to see if there were any differences in the ways men and women experience ageism and, while there were a few notable differences, there are far more similarities. The survey found that there are more distinctions between respondents who have and have not experienced ageism when it comes to their perceptions of ageism at work.
