Ageism includes stereotypes, myths, outright disdain and dislike, avoidance of contact, and discrimination in housing, employment, and services of many kinds. For example, I was recently shopping at a store on a busy Saturday

Answer:

Younger people face difficulty in getting a good job with a good pay as compared to old people as they are judged on the basis of their low/no experience.

Step-by-step explanation:

Agesim is a type of discrimination on the basis of age. It is very similar to other discrimination where certain prejudices are pre-formed and then the people are judged on that basis. It can affect children, teenagers, adults, or senior citizens or in other way if can affect all people belonging to different age groups.

For example –

Younger people face difficulty in getting a good job with a good pay as compared to old people as they are judged on the basis of their low/no experience.
