Finally, in collaboration with the government, initiatives and services may be implemented and improved to ensure that our society's older adults and elders will face little to no ageism in the future. The research group recommends that stereotyping of the elderly should be avoided in favor of better recognition of them because each of them is a valuable source of information from which we can all benefit.
