Abstract

Discrimination against the elderly is a widespread social phenomenon, which contains misunderstanding and misjudgment of the elderly group. Compared with racial discrimination, gender discrimination and other discrimination issues, discrimination against the elderly has its own characteristics, such as universality, concealment, interference, which determines that discrimination against the elderly is extremely “subtle”. This paper focuses on the reasons of ageism. At the same time, this paper lays the groundwork to analyze reasons of ageism systematically, which have an important role of subsequent research on finding the resolution of ageism.This paper analyzes 10 articles selected from Google Scholar and CNKI. This paper finds that the reasons mainly come from three aspects: individual level, inter-group level, and institutional level.
