ageism

Prejudice against people because of their age. Ageism often takes the form of discrimination against older job applicants.

In the USA, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (1967) prohibits discrimination based on age for employees aged 40–69. Several organizations support rights for older people, for example AARP (founded as the American Association of Retired Persons in 1958), which in 2006 had more than 35 million members, making it one of the largest membership organizations for people aged 50 and over; and the Gray Panthers (founded in 1970)
