Ageism in Hiring
Ageism is a prevalent issue in the hiring process, where employers often lean towards younger candidates. This bias is observed when two individuals with similar skills, but with a significant age gap, are being interviewed for a position. Despite the advantages that come with experience and expertise, the younger candidate is usually chosen due to their perceived hunger and willingness to work harder.
