Ageism is too often an accepted form of bias, even though the facts
support the value of aging. Airline pilots forced to retire at the
arbitrary age of 65 are usually at the top of their game. Forced
retirement in most organizations remove highly skilled performers
as well as role models and trainers for newer generations. Instead
of revelling in who we are, we begin to try to look younger as soon
as possible, with 16-year-old women receiving nose and breast
surgery as birthday presents. People have become inured to "losing"
abilities as they age instead of appreciating new abilities that
only age can bestow. Everyone extols the need for gender equality,
lest we lose the talents of half of our population. Yet, people
over 65 are currently 15 percent of the US population (46.2
million) and is projected to rise to 34 percent. Due to the IRA
legislation of the Reagan era - and the lack of need to purchase
homes, college educations, cars, or health care-the discretionary
assets are also substantial. It's time these people took control of
their lives and influence on everything from business to politics.
