Ageism is a form of prejudice and discrimination as virulent as racism and as pervasive as sexism. It has been described as it affects the elderly but has not been sufficiently recognized as it affects the young. Institutional juvenile ageism exists when social systems ignore the interests of children. Individual juvenile ageism exists when the developmental interests of a child are not respected. This article describes the dynamics, manifestations, and approaches to the amelioration of juvenile ageism.
年龄歧视是一种偏见和歧视形式，其危害程度与种族主义相当，普遍程度与性别歧视无异。它一直被描述为对老年人的影响，但对其影响年轻人的情况却未得到充分认识。当社会制度忽视儿童利益时，就存在制度性青少年年龄歧视。当儿童的发展利益得不到尊重时，就存在个体性青少年年龄歧视。本文描述了青少年年龄歧视的动态、表现形式以及改善方法。
