Answer to a written question - Ageism in cancer related healthcare
|
|
Answer given by Ms Kyriakides on behalf of the European Commission (10.7.2024) The Union of Equality strategies adopted by the Commission in 2020 and 2021 stress, among other things, the need to combat stereotypes, fight age-based discrimination, and foster equal chances to thrive.
|
|
|
|
Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan pays particular attention to combatting health inequalities,
including ageism. The European Cancer Inequalities Registry, one of its Flagship initiatives,
monitors inequalities, including by age. A factsheet alerts to the demographic effect on cancer
burden and to age as a cancer risk factor

Addressing ageism: a key priority for a society of longevity
|
|
Addressing ageism – stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination based on age - is crucial for ensuring that policies are successful in promoting the well-being and participation of older persons in society.
The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) looks at the prevalence and impact of ageism on individuals and society in a series of science for policy briefs.
