Abstract

Population aging is a reality that brings new challenges to society, especially in the job market, where ageism, known as ageism, is still a significant barrier for many professionals. This work addresses ageism in the job market, highlighting its impacts and ways of combating it, focusing on the reality of Uruçuí, Piauí. The research looks at how ageism affects older workers, limiting their employment opportunities and career progression. Based on a quantitative approach, data were collected that highlight the impact of ageism on employability, as well as on the social and business perception of aging in the job market. Furthermore, business practices and policies that promote age inclusion are explored, emphasizing the importance of valuing generational diversity as a strategic factor for organizational and social development. It is concluded that the promotion of inclusive policies and cultural changes are essential to mitigate ageism, taking advantage of the potential of more experienced professionals and contributing to a more equitable and productive work environment.
