Las aplicaciones de inteligencia artificial (IA) generativa produjeron en un año 15 mil millones de imágenes, el equivalente al número de fotografías realizadas en los 150 años de historia de esta profesión. Aquí nos preguntamos cómo la IA generativa representa, de forma hiperrealista, a los humanos a través de las imágenes que genera. Y para ello...

AI ageism offers a conceptual framework for analyzing ageism and age discrimination within the field of AI. It encompasses five interconnected forms: (1) age biases in algorithms and datasets (technical level), (2) age stereotypes, prejudices and ideologies of actors in AI (individual level), (3) invisibility of old age in discourses on AI (discour...

This paper presents policy landscapes of five European countries - Germany, Holland, Spain, Poland, and Great Britain, as well as international documents (EU, UNESCO, Council of Europe) - scrutinizing their approaches to AI development through the lens of aging population. The research question addressed is: How are older persons represented and si...

In den letzten Jahren hat das Interesse an der Frage zugenommen, wie Algorithmen zu diskriminierenden Ergebnissen führen können, insbesondere in Bezug auf Geschlecht und Race. Bei der Analyse I wurde jedoch der Kategorie Alter und ältere Menschen nicht genügend Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. In diesem Artikel wird das Konzept des „KI-Ageismus“ vorgestel...

AI systems in medicine and healthcare are being extensively explored in prevention, diagnosis, novel drug designs and after-care. The application of AI technology in healthcare systems promises impressive outcomes such as equalising healthcare, reducing mortality rate and human error, reducing medical costs, as well as reducing reliance on social s...

Mature female entrepreneurs represent a non-traditional model of self-employed workers in both ways: in terms of gender and age. The transition into self-employment for women aged 45 years and older represents a topic of aging research that still tends to be overlooked. Previous studies found ambivalent results for the issue regarding motives and e...

In the last few years, we have witnessed a surge in scholarly interest and scientific evidence of how algorithms can produce discriminatory outcomes, especially with regard to gender and race. However, the analysis of fairness and bias in AI, important for the debate of AI for social good, has paid insufficient attention to the category of age and...

Scholars in fairness and ethics in AI have successfully and critically identified discriminatory outcomes pertaining to the social categories of gender and race. The salient scrutiny of fairness, important for the debate of AI for social good, has nonetheless paid insufficient attention to the critical category of age. The aging population has been...

Over the last decade, gender has become a surprisingly charged topic that has drawn sharp lines in the political landscape of Europe and beyond. Central and Eastern Europe have played a critical role in this, given that the governments of Russia, Poland, and Hungary have rejected “Western gender ideology,” while in other countries of the region ant...

This book explores the contradictory development of gender roles in Central and Eastern Europe including Russia. In light of the social changes that followed the collapse of communism and the rise of new conservatism in Eastern Europe, it studies new forms of gender relationships and reassesses the status quo of female empowerment. Moreover, leadin...

Für die meisten Länder in Europa stellt die demographische Alterung am Arbeitsmarkt eine große Herausforderung dar. Neben der Perspektive abhängiger Beschäftigung geraten auch Gründungsaktivitäten Älterer mit Begriffen wie „senior/silver/mature/late career entrepreneurs“ verstärkt in den Fokus. Entsprechende Publikationen wie der Policy Brief „Seni...

In recent years we may observe increasing interest in the development of social innovation both regarding theory as well as the practice of responding to social problems and challenges. One of the crucial challenges at the beginning of the 21st century is population ageing. Various new and innovative initiatives, programs, schemes, and projects to...

Ageism has been shown to have a negative impact on older people’s health and wellbeing. Though multiple scales are currently being used to measure this increasingly important issue, syntheses of the psychometric properties of these scales are unavailable. This means that existing estimates of ageism prevalence may not be accurate. We conducted a sy...

From a political and economic perspective, senior entrepreneurship seems to be the response to the demographic consequences of the aging workforce in Europe. Several policies and strategies by the European Union (EU) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) promote senior entrepreneurship by creating a favorable environ...

The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the psychometric properties of measures that assess ageism: the way we think, feel and act towards age and aging. Specifically, we examined what measures of ageism are available; What what aspects/dimensions of ageism (behavioral, attitudinal, affective, explicit, implicit) do existing measures...

This chapter looks at the phenomenon of ageism and age discrimination in the labour market from a socio-political perspective and draws attention to key factors in its emergence. The approach adopted here goes beyond the individualistic and micro accounts adopted mostly by psychologists, as well as beyond the meso perspective as used in organisatio...

This paper analyses the interference of three socio-demographic characteristics: gender, age and migration status on the labour market outcomes from the perspective of intersectionality theory. Concretely, we investigate whether gender and migration differences in hourly wages are observable at younger ages and whether these differences increase wi...

The purpose of the paper is to explore how policy narratives in European policy documents frame the image and role of a senior entrepreneur. This article includes a critical assessment of policy texts in two policy frameworks of European Union and OECD, namely: the active ageing framework and the inclusive entrepreneurship framework. The aim of thi...

Gender equality is a broad socially and politically recognized principle, enshrined in international treaties and conventions, as well as in national legislations and policies in most of the modern countries throughout the globe. The CEDAW Convention, an international bill of rights for women, was signed and ratified by 189 countries. The last deca...

The paper concentrates on the problem of age discrimination in the labour market and the way it can be conceptualised and measured in a multi-disciplinary way. The approach proposed here combines two understandings of age discrimination—a sociological and legal one, what allows for a fuller and expanded understanding of ageism in the workplace. At...

The article presents the process of social construction of old age in the labour market in Poland, which manifests itself through different age distinctions, such as chronological, social, psychological or cognitive age. The analysis of 30 in-depth interviews with employers in Małopolska region from small, medium and large enterprises, as well as e...

In this chapter we focus on the development of intra- and inter-cohort socio-economic inequalities in an ageing society in a period of deep social change. Based on the Polish experience, we trace life course patterns in times of system transition, that change individuals' aspirations, opportunities and behaviours, with an attempt to recognise the m...

Introduction In this chapter, we focus on the development of intra-cohort and inter-cohort socioeconomic inequalities in an ageing society in a period of deep social change. Based on the Polish experience, we trace lifecourse patterns in times of system transition that change individuals’ aspirations, opportunities and behaviours, with an attempt t...

We will present the problem of the accumulation of certain advantages and disadvantages during the life-course of individuals wit...

This paper focuses on the possible methods and measures that individual Polish informal carers utilize in order to manage the double burden of work and care. The strategies they use are understood as conscious and systematized ways of tackling the everyday obligations in order to successfully reconcile different duties. Based on interviews with wor...

Sufficient scientific evidence exists, along with everyday experience, to support the conclusion that age is of substantial importance in modern labour markets. Several empirical studies have confirmed that older age can be an obstacle to finding a job. Among the solutions to the problem of the unequal treatment of workers based on age, many author...

Artykuł omawia podejścia do zjawiska starości z punktu widzenia konstruktywizmu społecznego w socjologii. Stara się ukazać, iż pojęcie starości nie jest pojęciem pierwotnym o charakterze esencjalistycznym, a co za tym idzie jego znacznie ulega ciągłym transformacjom w zależności od kontekstów społecznych, w jakich jest stosowane. Koncepcja społeczn...

The main question raised in this article concerns the phenomenon of ageizm and age discrimination in the contemporary Polish society. The analysis of the previous research on the age discrimination in Poland, particularly in the area of labour market, suggested that the population of 50+ faces significant problems stemming from their chronological...

In the year 2000 European Council enacted a new regulation, namely the Framework Employment Directive (2000/78/EC) prohibiting discrimination on various grounds, including the age. The Directive is the first so specific and accurate tool in the fight against discrimination on the European level. The Directive is not only a legal tool, but it also i...

The aim of this article is to take a closer look at national Israeli policies in the domain of population growth. Demography plays a powerful role in understanding the Israeli society and the changes it has experienced over time. The "demographic struggle" presents the constant effort of the Jewish population to maintain, regardless of the costs, t...
