Should we work more on ageism?

Depending on what and how old we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, our efforts against ageism is insufficient, so we need to act more to improve the current situation. Now let me explain the details.     

First, we are prone to downplay ageism compared to other types of discrimination, such as sexism or racism. It is because traditional values have allowed a culture of giving special treatment to seniors. That is why Japan preserves some ageism, such as mandatory retirement. But now, WHO has alerted member countries to act against this outdated bias.     

Next, I understand some may argue that ageism isn’t a big deal, but studies have shown that it actually damages the economy. For example, age discrimination can cause job loss and mental health issues. And this leads to serious problems in many developed countries such as Japan, where the ongoing aging population leads to an aging workforce.     

Therefore, I conclude that we should work to reduce ageism, in order to achieve a happy aging society. Thank you for your attention. [182 Words Type-D]
