chAnGEISM
What changed? Experiences and expressions of ageism 15 years after the European Social Survey module
Description

More people are living longer than ever before. Portugal is an outstanding example of this global trend, ranking as the fourth country in the world with the highest percentage of people aged 65 and older in its population.

Ageism – how we think (stereotypes), feel (prejudice), and act (discrimination) towards others based on their age – is a significant barrier to healthier and longer lives and a growing concern in ageing societies.

The first comprehensive international assessment of ageism – the Experiences and Expressions of Ageism module of the European Social Survey (2008-2009) – revealed that ageism was the most prevalent form of discrimination, experienced by more people than racism or sexism.

Fifteen years later, the chAnGEISM project aims to reassess the current experiences and expressions of ageism in Portugal by replicating and extending the European Social Survey module.
