    The document discusses the marginalization of the elderly in society. It identifies age as a contributing factor for social exclusion, along with ethnicity, gender, disability status, and sexual orientation. The elderly experience disadvantages in accessing healthcare, education, and employment. Discrimination, poverty, and structural disadvantages are major causes of their marginalization. While the elderly are an unpopular group, minorities and LGBTQ+ individuals are more popular targets. Current programs aimed at helping the elderly include AAA, ombudsmen, SSI, and Medicare. Both short-term training programs and long-term adaptable technologies are proposed as solutions.
