Ageism is perhaps the biggest discriminating factor in the job market, no matter what a persons sex, no matter their skin color, ethnic background, sexual preference, etc. It discriminates again everyone over a certain age e.g. 45 even if they are already highly skilled. The more skilled a person is, the greater ageism is likely to exist.
Yet today, again and again I heard complaints from presenters about sexism discrimination, racial, physical, even the type of toys kids were given as young children. But not a single mention about the largest form of workplace discrimination that potentially affects EVERYONE! AGEISM! Perhaps its just not sexy enough or lack real virtue signalling potential.
