Ageism is one of the most common and serious obstacles and challenges to intergenerational solidarity, as well as to health and well-being of older adults and their active involvement in the society. The Innovative Training Network EuroAgeism, funded under Horizon 2020 as part of the Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions1, identified that whereas ageism is a burning issue in everyday life, research and policy, it is almost neglected from the frame of the policy debate proposed by the Green Paper.
In this document, we provide an overview of the impact and magnitude of ageism in various domains addressed in the Green Paper in order to support the aim to foster solidarity and responsibility between generations.
