Age discrimination, also referred to as ageism, can have a huge impact on older people's lives. It may not always be obvious that you are being discriminated against because of your age, but it could result in you receiving lower quality treatment or services. There are many areas of life in which people can experience age-related discrimination, including employment, health care and consumer services.
