Modernising attitudes to age?: Using action research to explore the role of the Government in tackling ageism

Abstract

Older people feel that ageism underlies many of their more specific concerns. A number of pieces of research carried out on behalf of the Inter‐Ministerial Group on Older People also reveal the importance of the Government addressing the ageist attitudes to older people that affect their ability to participate in society.
