Ageism in India – Research project with Randstad India
We are starting a conversation about ageism in the Indian workplace, and calling people of all ages, based in India, who are currently a part of the workforce to participate.
Prejudice and bias in the workplace manifest in various forms. One such form with the potential to affect virtually all employees during their working lives is ageism. Ageism refers to “stereotypes, prejudice, or discrimination against (but also in favour of) people because of their chronological age”. It can be directed towards both younger and older workers. Moreover, it is often not just one’s age that matters. Intersectionality with gender, race, or other characteristics can also play a key role.
In this context, Randstad India, in collaboration with In Diverse Company, is keen on exploring the presence (or absence) of age-based discrimination in India Inc., how it manifests in the workplace for different age groups, what impact it creates, what ageism-related challenges organisations and leaders face, and, what can be done about it. We are also keen to explore best practices from the perspectives of both the employees and employers.
Would you like to contribute?
We’re calling people of all ages, based in India, who are currently a part of the workforce to participate. We are starting a conversation about ageism in the Indian workplace. You can help this study by completing our survey, participating in our interviews and focus groups, or simply sharing this information with your network.
Focus Groups on Ageism
We are looking to invite participants to attend a deeper discussion on the topic of ageism in the Indian workplace. The purpose of the focus group is to explore the presence (or absence) of age-based discrimination in India Inc. and how it manifests in the workplace for different age groups. The outcome will be a comprehensive summary of actions that can be taken by various organisations and individuals across India Inc. to ensure that age diversity is leveraged.
Together, we can effect positive change and ensure that age diversity is not just recognised but celebrated!
