‘Ageism: End It’

Sadly, in Australia and across the world, ageism is a highly accepted form of prejudice. Globally, 1 in 2 people are ageists.  

This statistic is shocking. It means half of the world’s population feels negatively about ageing and people who are older.  

But there is hope.  

Thanks to the Every Age Counts campaign In Australia, we’re leading the world in learning how to end ageism. However, it is a long journey ahead. Social and cultural change doesn’t happen quickly.

At Mayflower, we believe we all need to work together to fight against ageism in Australia. We can start by being more aware of it in our communities and in our workplaces.

In our communities, ageism is highly tolerated, but it shouldn't be. So, it’s time to say yes to ageing and no to ageism. It’s time to end ageism.
