「释义」
职场中的年龄歧视指雇主经常对老年工作者有负面看法。即使老年工作者并不必然比年轻的同事身体状况差、教育程度低、缺乏技能和生产力低，但是年龄歧视仍持续存在。

「应用场景」
偏见存在的源头是难以杜绝且普遍存在的年龄歧视。对年长员工的负面刻板印象盖过了正面特质，既破坏了职场环境，还降低了“青年崇拜”文化中年长人士的价值。年长的人会发现自己在面临招聘决策、晋升，甚至志愿工作机会时，往往处于劣势。美国退休人员协会（AARP）的研究发现，45岁到74岁的员工中，大概2/3的人称自己曾在职场中看到或遭遇过年龄歧视，其中高达92%的人表示，年龄歧视极其（或比较）普遍。

Yet the flawed perceptions persist, a byproduct of stubborn and pervasive ageism. Positive attributes of older workers are crowded out by negative stereotypes that infect work settings and devalue older adults in a youth-oriented culture. Older adults regularly find themselves on the losing end of hiring decisions, promotions, and even volunteer opportunities. Research from AARP found that approxi­mately two-thirds of workers ages 45 to 74 said they have seen or experienced age discrimina­tion in the workplace. Of those, a remarkable 92% said age discrimination is very, or somewhat, common.
