Abstract

The Research Network on Ageing in Europe (RN01) of the European Sociological Association organised the 6th Midterm Conference of the network in Vienna from 13-15 July 2022. The conference was opened by Liat Ayalon’s keynote speech, which discussed the concept of ageism with illustrations from several fields such as long-term care, the relationship between older people and everyday technology and climate change policy, etc. Ageism is defined as stereotypes, prejudice, or discrimination against people based on their chronological age. Most concern is raised by practices of ageism that discriminate against a specific age group, but ageism can also mean positive discrimination and can be directed towards people of any age. The keynote lecture highlighted that the Covid pandemic has exacerbated ageism. Older people were depicted as vulnerable groups and as a burden to society. In terms of long-term care, research has found that residents’ voices in US nursing homes were excluded in reporting about the pandemic. Ageist practices have also surfaced in the area of health-care triage decisions and vaccination policies.

“欧洲老龄化:迈向更具包容性的社会、研究和政策”会议报告

欧洲社会学协会的欧洲老龄化研究网络(RN01)于2022年7月13日至15日在维也纳组织了该网络的第六届中期会议。会议由Liat Ayalon的主题演讲拉开序幕，他从长期护理、老年人与日常科技的关系、气候变化政策等多个领域阐述了年龄歧视的概念。年龄歧视被定义为基于实际年龄对人们的刻板印象、偏见或歧视。最令人担忧的是对特定年龄组的年龄歧视，但年龄歧视也意味着积极的歧视，可以针对任何年龄的人。主题演讲强调，新冠疫情加剧了年龄歧视。老年人被描绘成弱势群体，是社会的负担。在长期护理方面，研究发现，在报道疫情时，美国养老院居民的声音被排除在外。在医疗分诊决定和疫苗接种政策方面，也出现了歧视年龄的做法。
