MORE than a quarter of people in the North West have suffered age discrimination, a survey for Age Concern has revealed.
Some 26.9% of people questioned in the region said they had been the subject of ageism – more than any other form of discrimination.
The figure compares to just 9.1% who said they had suffered sexism, 6% who suffered racism and 6% who suffered disability discrimination.
Nationally, the survey showed that 56% of all discrimination against over 55s relates to ageism
