DISCUSSION As you watch TV, how inclined would you be to watch a show based on the lives of elderly characters vs. younger characters? (ex. Golden Girls vs. Sex the City) Competition in the Labor Force The work force currently encompasses a record number of elderly workers. In 2007, 34 percent of men and 25 percent of women, ages 65 to 69 were still active members of the workforce. This has resulted in more competition in the labor force, as well as the practice of age discrimination. Age discrimination is illegal and in recent years complaints of this practice have risen 41 percent. Some employers use incentive packages as a means of enticing its older workers into retirement. Companies may use subtle discrimination tactics to avoid hiring older applicants. Counterpoint: Some employers prefer elderly employees because the y feel they are more reliable, have a stronger work ethic and have more experience. Elderly Advocacy An increase in the elderly population has brought forth an increase in collective action for their causes. Currently, the American Association of Retired People (AARP) has 37 million members. They encourage voter registration, and currently 1 out of every 4 registered voters is an AARP member. AARP advocates for senior causes such as healthcare, and retirement programs to improve the lifestyles of its members. This phenomenon of elderly advocacy is world wide. There are equivalents to AARP in other parts of the world such as Canada and Germany, which provide educational and recreational activities for seniors. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BY DIANA CALHOUN Stratification by Age Children have never been any good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them. ~James Baldwin~ Aging Society What is age?
