年龄歧视一直是众多出版物的焦点，而年龄隔离则是一个被忽视的话题。在种族隔离-年龄歧视循环中，微观个人层面的年龄歧视与宏观层面的种族隔离有关。可能的链接机制，可能有助于打破这种循环，可以在社交网络的中观层面上找到--它们的结构和功能。来自美国和荷兰的数据显示，非家庭网络具有很强的年龄同质性。基于一系列学者的早期工作，我们认为，时间、群体认同、观点采择和情感纽带是关于网络功能必须考虑的因素。解决中观层面的机制对社会政策和研究构成挑战。
Ageism has been the focus of numerous publications, while age segregation is a neglected topic. Ageism on a micro-individual level is linked to segregation on a macro level in a segregation-ageism cycle. Possible linking mechanisms, which might help break this cycle, can be found on a meso level of social networks-their structure and functions. Data from the United States and the Netherlands show that non-family networks are strongly age homogeneous. Based on earlier work by a range of scholars, we suggest that time, group identity, perspective-taking, and affective ties are factors that must be considered with regard to the functions of networks. Addressing meso level mechanisms poses challenges to social policy as well as research.
