Not only is ageism and generalization upsetting to older people, but also may even diminish successful aging and destabilize their lives. Learn how to improve relationships with elderly Africans and how to use positive African beliefs and attitudes towards the elderly person.
Older Africans who are exposed to positive ideologies have significantly better lives, whereas ageism affects self-perceptions and it contributes to social Isolation and the thoughts of insignificance.
"Aging in Africa: The New Face of Ageism" expounds on the coded forms of discrimination, ageism and stereotyping in Africa. The author points out several cultural dynamics and issues within the African Continent.
"Aging in Africa: The New Face of Ageism" argues that different forms of ageism has been internalized by the sandwich generation in Africa. Children of elderly adults, long before they begin raising their own families, plan to continue with familiar ageist actions and generalizations. This reinforces over their entire lifetimes, ageist actions such as making elderly parents sole caretakers of grandchildren.
