Whether you’re 25 or 55, far too many of us have experienced what it’s like to be judged as being too young or too old for a job, an outfit or even life events and milestones. Age is the ultimate intersectionality, magnifying bias when layered with gender, culture and other identities that we carry with us, so AARP is fighting to ensure that your age never limits your opportunities. Together, we can work to ensure that you are valued for your knowledge, life experiences and earned expertise, regardless of your age.
So how can you better use your voice in this increasingly complex and segmented world? What are some of the ways we can best advocate and amplify ourselves and each other?
One of the greatest accomplishments of the last century is that, as a nation, we are living longer, healthier lives – and with that women’s roles in the workforce have changed dramatically. Women have gone from making up 29% of the workforce in 1950 to nearing parity by hitting 48% by 2050. With more women in the workforce every day, has the workplace itself kept up? Is our value (and valuation) keeping pace and growing?
Join us as Karen Chong, Vice President of Audience Strategy for Age Inclusion, from AARP’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, sparks a conversation about the ageist expectations and stereotypes we’re up against and how, together, we can “Amplify Your Voice” at every age.
