The ITN EuroAgeism aims to make a meaningful impact on the lives of older adults and civic society. To accomplish this mission, the network will employ open access policies and disseminate the results of the research on ageism and various education activities to academia, policy actors and the wider public. The ITN will periodically publish this material in various ways and it will be accessible or made available for direct download from this website.

EuroAgeism advances the field by delivering an attractive multi-disciplinary, inter-sectorial, international research, training and supervision program on ageism. The most prominent aspect of the network-wide program concerns the policy-science dialogue. It is dedicated to the development of evidence-based policies in the field of ageism, as well as the dissemination of the findings to policy stakeholders and the general public to decrease ageism in everyday life, in clinical and in social practice. Policy briefs published here are the outcome of the research conducted in EuroAgeism....

In this work package of the data collection process, ESRs (11-15) will present gathering quantitative, qualitative or mix-methods information on specific variables with the aim of evaluating outcomes or gleaning actionable insights. Good data collection requires a clear process to ensure the data you collect is clean, consistent, and reliable. In the following section, we will present the details of each ESR followed by the relevant data collection reports.

The difficulties of undertaking a literature search on ageism were discussed at the meeting in Brussels on October 25th, 2019. At this time, Vania De La Fuente Nunez from the World Health Organisation (WHO) suggested that the search strategy on ageism conducted by WHO could be used as a template for all students and they could add their focus to this expert search. At the time of this deliverable (March 4th, 2019) though, the search strategy had not yet been finalized. In line with the...

The first Working Package group 2 (WP 2) meeting in Brussels October 25th, 2018 focused on the potential and actual difficulties of access to long term care facilities, municipalities, policymakers, inpatient and outpatient services, social media and patients records. The members of WP2 discussed the ethical issues concerning the use of social media pictures and this was addressed in the Deliverable 2.1. Additionally, the group discussed the possible challenges of data collection, in terms of culture, availability, accessibility, any permissions needed (open access, purchased) and...

This policy report aims to summarise the findings and knowledge gained by ESRs from the ITN EuroAgeism Work Package one into a coherent series of recommendations for policy on ageism in the labour market. The report is based on our extensive empirical and literature-based research and knowledge gained during the project on the roots, magnitude, forms, and effects of ageism in the labour market. The recommendations are based on international studies and the outcomes of the research projects conducted by ESRs in different countries (Poland,...

WP1 deals with older peoples’ participation in the labour market and the extension of working lives. 5 ESRs investigate the barriers and challenges that older workers face at the macro, meso and micro levels using quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method approaches. In order to share the experience and receive feedback on the on-going data-collection and data-analysis issues, regular skype meetings were set. The topics covered included: actual difficulties of measuring ageism in the labour market, possible biases of measuring meso-level ageism via quantitative and qualitative methods,...

The literature review based on efficient searching techniques has been one of the priority tasks for the ESRs at the initial stage of the project. I was defined at the meeting in Brussels (October 25th, 2018) as one of the most important steps in the conceptualization and preparation of the research proposals. Although all the projects of the WP1 are dedicated to ageism in the labour markets, the individual topics of the projects in WP1 vary considerably, therefore an agreement about the independent preparation of...
