Understanding Ageism in Australia

年龄歧视指的是基于年龄对人的刻板印象、偏见和歧视。该项目旨在通过对年龄歧视进行一项以人口为基础的调查，并检查其与心理健康和幸福的联系，从而产生与澳大利亚老年人的年龄歧视经历有关的新知识。该项目还将使用密集的纵向方法来研究日常的年龄歧视。预期结果包括确定可用于为政府应对年龄歧视的政策反应提供信息的高危群体，并将为制定干预措施和教育方案提供信息，以减少社区中的年龄歧视。这应为社会包容、代际团结和经济参与提供重大好处。

Ageism refers to stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination towards people based on their age. This project aims to generate new knowledge in relation to older Australians’ experiences of ageism by conducting a population-based survey of ageism and examining its links with mental health and wellbeing. The project will also use intensive longitudinal methods to study everyday ageism. Expected outcomes include identification of at-risk groups that can be used to inform government policy responses to tackling ageism and will inform the development of interventions and education programs to reduce ageism in the community. This should provide significant benefits for social inclusion, intergenerational solidarity and economic participation
