Why are older workers called dinosaurs?

When you think about it, ageism sounds absurd.

From learning the piano at 69, to completing a PHD at 75, to taking up online dating at 69, and developing new skills for volunteering at 70, we hear stories every day from supporters keen to show that older people are far from ‘stuck in their ways’.

That’s why Age Without Limits‘ campaign is prompting everyone to question familiar assumptions about ageing and older people that we might previously have accepted.
