Editorial: neglecting elders in the workplace: civil society organizations, ageism, and mandatory retirement.

چکیده
Introduction In Lucino Visconti’s 1971 film, Death in Venice, a middle-aged composer falls for a beautiful adolescent boy. The movie’s opening scene limns a powerful contrast between the ill-fated impresario and a muscular longshoreman in his seventies, who loads the agonized tourist’s massive luggage and advises him about a deceptive gondolier. Visconti’s magical sequence captures the proudly independent elder worker still possible at the dawn of the industrial age, when a large majority over 65 were employed, and also during the film’s own period, before the insidious mixture of retirement ideology and ageism purged most older employees from places of work.
