Understanding Ageism in Australia

歧视是指基于年龄对人的陈规定型观念、偏见和歧视。该项目旨在通过对老龄歧视问题进行人口调查，并审查其与心理健康和福祉的联系，获得有关澳大利亚老年人遭受老龄歧视经历的新知识。该项目还将使用密集的纵向方法来研究日常的年龄歧视。预期成果包括确定风险群体，可用于为政府应对老龄歧视的政策提供信息，并将为制定干预措施和教育方案提供信息，以减少社区中的老龄歧视。 这将为社会包容、代际团结和经济参与带来巨大好处

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
