Let's talk about ageism

In recent years we have heard a lot about the term "ageism", a concept that, as the word itself indicates, refers to a type of discrimination based on age. Currently considered one of the most widespread forms of discrimination, along with racism and sexism, it is still largely unknown to society in general. Given the topicality and growing interest that seems to generate this issue, from the Lugaritz housing construction team we have decided to organize a talk in which we will have Elena del Barrio, co-director of Matia Institute and expert on the subject.

The current transition towards longevity is shaped by a demographic change, with a gain in life expectancy occurring at older ages and accompanied by a series of structural (social, economic) and individual changes that give rise to new experiences of ageing and unprecedented social change.

Age discrimination, i.e. ageism, occurs in many ways in our society, without us being aware of it. How does it happen? How does it affect us? What consequences does it have on people, on the economy, on health and on society? How can it be combated? What can the media do? What can I do?

A positive aspect of ageing has been studied and demonstrated for years. We already know ways of influencing our ageing process in order to enjoy greater well-being. However, it is very common to find negative and stereotyped images of ageing that condition the image we have of this vital stage and of our own vital process.
