Efectos de la intergeneracionalidad (relaciones, contactos y programas) en la reducción del edadismo: una revisión sistemática (2013-2023)

Abstract

Discrimination against people on the basis of age, ageism, is one of the most latent forms of discrimination in today's society. In this systematic review we analysed the impact of intergenerationality (relationships, contacts and programmes) on reducing ageism. Eighteen articles were selected following the PRISMA protocol, searching three major databases (Scopus, WoS and ERIC). The results of the studies highlight how intergenerational interventions reduce ageism by fostering understanding and contact between generations, with an emphasis on technology and youth programmes. Shared housing and the duration of interventions are also key factors. As a proposal, an approach to ageism from a socio-educational perspective is proposed that favours the creation of inclusive environments, creating synergies to break the stigma of chronological age.
