Tougas, Francine; Lagace, Martine; Laplante, Joelle; Bellehumeur, Christian – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 2008
The fact that Canada's working population is aging and will continue to do so is no surprise to anyone.

Gajek, Elzbieta – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2009
Nowadays mass media shape the perception of social values and roles. Thus, aspects of media education that deal with various kinds of inequalities influence general sensitivity to diversity and its consequences.

Halpern, Diane F. – Educational Psychology Review, 2008
The academic workplace, with its requirements for achieving tenure within the first 6 years of employment, is designed in ways that discriminate against young faculty with family care responsibilities, most notably mothers. Mason and Goulden ("Academe," http://www.aaup.org/publications/Academe/2002/02nd/02ndmas.htm, 2002, "Academe,"…

Calasanti, Toni – Social Forces, 2007
This paper situates age discrimination within a broader system of age relations that intersects with other inequalities, and then uses that framework to analyze internet advertisements for the anti-aging industry. Such ads reinforce age and gender relations by positing old people as worthwhile only to the extent that they look and act like those…

McGuire, Sandra L.; Mefford, Linda – Journal of School Nursing, 2007
Americans are living longer than ever before. A child born today can expect to live 80 years, 90 years, or longer. Many of today's children will live to be centenarians. Aging education to prepare people for the long life ahead has been endorsed since the first White House Conference on Aging in 1961. However, little is happening with aging…

Weber, Jerome C. – College and University, 2009
What creates the "one-and-done" scenario is the National Basketball Association (NBA) rule that prohibits a player from graduating from high school and going directly to the NBA. The league's obviously cynical and self-interested rule prohibits a prospect from signing to play before at least one year has elapsed. In contrast, Major League…

Griffin, Tabatha, Ed.; Beddie, Francesca, Ed. – National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), 2011
One of the challenges facing Australia is the ageing of the population.

Bushway, Shawn D.; Piehl, Anne Morrison – Crime & Delinquency, 2007
In sentencing research, significant negative coefficients on age research have been interpreted as evidence that actors in the criminal justice system discriminate against younger people. This interpretation is incomplete. Criminal sentencing laws generally specify punishment in terms of the number of past events in a defendant's criminal history.…

Gee, Gilbert C.; Pavalko, Eliza K.; Long, J. Scott – Social Forces, 2007
