Ageism Quotations

I do feel that the trend is away from ageism and toward a recognition that older people have a unique voice.

Ageism is as odious as racism and sexism.

The beautiful thing is that ageism just doesn't exist on 'EastEnders.' The show saved me.

There is no ageism or 'youthism' when it comes to freedom of speech. We are all citizens.

Ageism is the most pervasive form of prejudice in Britain today,

Ageism hits younger people too, who can find themselves discriminated against in the jobs market. For business to thrive in an increasingly competitive market, it must not ignore the skills of any worker, whatever their age. The regulations give younger workers new protection too.

It's just something that I like, and I also don't buy into the ageism theory.
