Ageism commonly manifests through denying job opportunities, promotions, and trainings for elderly workers. They may also be chosen for layoffs due to their age, which is a form of discrimination. Paying older workers higher salaries is not necessarily ageism, and ageism does not favor elderly workers over younger workers. Firing older workers due to low performance is also not necessarily ageism, but may be based on job performance.
