Ageism in the Workplace: United States and Mexico

Content: The issue of ageism is interesting to consider–especially as the Baby Boomer population ages– and more millennials enter the job market in the United States. There are arguments on both sides of the conversation, but it ultimately rests on fairness: Whether the applicant or current employee is qualified and capable of producing sufficient work to be hired and maintain employment. Harsh punishments might prevent ageism but there could be other solutions. Perhaps, as a society, we need to rethink our values and question our behaviors towards our older population. In any event, if you see an older person on the bus or subway, and you are capable of giving up your seat, do it, because one day that’ll be you, and I am sure you would appreciate it.
