How ending workplace ageism could boost employees and employers
Susan Crowley, a 75-year-old retired attorney, works on her laptop at her home with her dog, Mollie, at her side in Hood River, Ore., on Jan. 23, 2021. Crowley submitted public comments to Oregon's vaccine advisory committee to criticize the state's controversial decision to vaccinate its teachers and early childhood care givers ahead of its oldest residents. Teachers in Oregon are eligible for the vaccine this week, two weeks ahead of the state's oldest residents and more than a month ahead of those between age 65 and 70. Oregon's decision underscores the difficult moral dilemma facing local and state public health officials as they weigh which populations need the vaccine most urgently amid a nationwide dose shortage.

Age discrimination is prohibited in organizations and programs that receive federal funding, but the Urban Institute and ProPublica published a study in 2018 that found 56% of workers 50 or older said they were pushed out of jobs they’d had for a long time and long before they wanted to retire.
