Millennial and Gen Z women feel ageism most, report finds: ‘My decisions were always questioned’

"The higher rates of ageism younger women report could partly be a function of generational differences," says Emily Levine, executive vice president of the recruitment and advisory firm Career Group Companies.
“I’ve noticed that early career professionals, Gen Z in particular, are highly ambitious and want to grow their careers a lot faster than their predecessors, and that could be contributing to this surge in ageism among younger women,” Levine says.
“If they’re rejected from an opportunity, they might chalk it up to their age instead of their abilities.”
