Yesterday was Ageism Awareness Day and I decided to start sharing some direct quotes from my book, Ageism at Work: Deconstructing Age and Gender in the Discriminating Labour Market, so you could hear firsthand from some of the older workers and employers that I interviewed.

“Women will try and make themselves younger, which I think is a huge mistake… I mean it’s like they’re dressing in their daughters’ clothes thinking that’s going to get them the job… it’s the sheer amount of make-up they will wear… It’s kind of the cougar scenario.”

I was pleased to recently share my research findings on ageism in the labour market with @Rit_Dubey from @CanadianPress. You can find her informative piece here:

It is Ageism Awareness Day, so I thought I would share this infographic to help combat ageism.

I am also happy to report that an e-version of my book, Ageism at Work is now available: https://t.co/lm2P3Y5fQn

“In our research we found no age was the right age to be a woman leader. There was always an age-based excuse to not take women seriously, to discount their opinions, or to not hire or promote them”#everydaysexism #equity #leadership #ageism https://t.co/EfEsBNOWNa

A UN Convention on the Human Rights of Older Persons is crucial to ensure older individuals enjoy their full range of human rights, challenge ageist attitudes, and create an inclusive world for all age groups. Help us spread the message! #TakeAction #StopAgeism #AWorld4AllAges

This is so important! Ageist attitudes not only harm others, research is increasingly showing that these attitudes also affect your own health. #Ageism needs to stop. https://t.co/cHxBhXKxJt

[Ellie Berger @EllieBerger]

I love this! Thank you Tracey Gendron and Changing the Narrative, a leading anti-ageism initiative for this excellent series on what aging would look like without #ageism. https://t.co/yjuU2y8NWp

[Ashton Applewhite @thischairrocks]

Thanks, @BeccaLevyPhD, for this remarkable new insight into how #ageism harms our #health: "Absorbing positive views on #aging—rather than being mired in negative #stereotypes about old people—can help older adults regain memory." https://t.co/BbSMCsBgBP

[Ellie Berger @EllieBerger]

@amandabull_ Congratulations!!

[Ellie Berger @EllieBerger]
