“…Other examples of potential negative stereotype embodiment are comments from older participants about feeling privileged to be included in Studio DöBra despite their age, as this seems to refer to a cultural assumption of older adults as societal outsiders (de Jong Gierveld, 1998). These findings substantiate the importance of integrating people of different ages in addressing age segregation and ageism (del Carmen Requena et al., 2018).…”

“…There is a risk that recent gains in this area may be lost as schools may now be prioritizing 'core' education that was lost during the pandemic, leaving less time or capacity for extra-curricular programs. The education element can enhance cooperation, perspective taking, and debunk stereotypes (Levy, 2016), see del Carmen Requena et al (2018) for a review of one case study that uses educational methods to support intergenerational interactions. A recent advance in this area, the Age-Friendly University initiative (Montepare & Brown, 2022), implements a systems-based approach to age-inclusivity and reduced ageism in higher education settings, and thus provides an ideal approach for adaptation to school level.…”

Intergenerational contact is crucial for promoting intergenerational harmony and reducing ageism. However, the COVID‐19 pandemic has disrupted and changed the nature and frequency of intergenerational contact. In addition, research suggests that both ageism towards older adults and intergenerational threat regarding succession and consumption, have increased. Through the lens of the Temporally Integrated Model of Intergroup Contact and Threat (TIMICAT; Abrams & Eller, 2016), we explore the implications of these changing dynamics on ageism towards older adults during and beyond the COVID‐19 pandemic. Our review reveals that research into intergenerational contact needs to articulate both the time course and salience of contact and threats before making predictions about their impacts on prejudice. The implications of understanding how contact and threat combine to affect ageism for policy and practice are discussed in relation to employment, education, and intergenerational contact programs. We highlight that policy makers play a key role in promoting intergenerational harmony through the reduction of narratives that inflame intergenerational tensions and threat.

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of counteracting human rights violations due to age discrimination in the social and communicative sphere to identify problematic aspects of this discrimination; to study current changes in connection with the pandemic threat and generalize a set of legal guarantees to prevent and counteract inappropriate legal policy in this area. The research is based on a humanistic approach, which determines the individual value criterion of the research methodology and is manifested through the ideology of anthropocentrism; a complementary approach to scientific research and a balanced combination of national and international state-building and law-making principles. A comparative legal method was used, which made it possible to summarize the legal requirements of various states, including the United Arab Emirates, Great Britain, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Colombia, on measures to counteract the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Statistical and information reports of the European Union countries, monitoring of the Equality Representatives of individual countries (Serbia, Lithuania), analytical data, government decisions and practical cases were used.
