Ageism, the discrimination against someone simply because they are older or younger, is a real problem. That's why we're dedicating this weekend's dossier to it. We explain what it is and how it affects us, with witnesses who have experienced or continue to experience this discrimination and experts who analyze it. We also offer a glossary of terms specific to this phenomenon and testimony from a surprising case that ended up in court.
