The Global Report on Ageism, prepared by the World Health Organization and other UN agencies, addresses age-based discrimination and its impact on health and well-being. The report identifies ageism's various forms across life stages and its intersection with other biases like sexism and racism. It highlights ageism's prevalence in institutions and its detrimental effects on individuals, particularly the elderly, impacting their health, social isolation, and economic security. The report presents three evidence-based strategies to combat ageism: policy and legal reforms, educational interventions, and intergenerational communication. It calls for political commitment and collaboration among stakeholders to foster a world inclusive of all ages.

The UK population is ageing rapidly. While age discrimination laws are seen as having broad potential to address the 'ageing challenge' and achieve instrumental and intrinsic objectives in the context of employment, it is unclear what impact they are having in practice. This monograph addresses two overarching research questions in the employment field: How are UK age discrimination laws operating in practice? How (if at all) could UK age discrimination laws be improved? A reflexive law theoretical standpoint is employed to investigate these issues, applying a mixed methods research design that engages qualitative, quantitative, doctrinal and comparative elements. This book demonstrates the substantial limitations of the Equality Act 2010 (UK) for achieving instrumental and intrinsic objectives. Drawing on qualitative expert interviews, statistical analysis and organisational case studies, it illustrates the failure of age discrimination laws to achieve attitudinal change in the UK, and reveals the limited prevalence of proactive measures to support older workers. Integrating doctrinal analysis, comparative analysis of Finnish law, and the Delphi method, it proposes targeted legal and policy changes to address demographic change, and offers an agenda for reform that may increase the impact of age discrimination laws, and enable them to respond effectively to demographic ageing. - See more at: http://www.bloomsburyprofessional.com/uk/extending-working-life-for-older-workers-9781509905768/#sthash.i0wR7Mgl.dpuf
