in bigger numbers in the organisations, HR managers find it problematic to manage
the age diversity. Managers work with certain pre-conceived ideas about older
people. There are some long standing stereotypes regarding aging. These include
perceptions like, the older workers have decreased performance, decreased stamina,
are difficult to train, are not flexible, have greater risks and have less capacity to
work. Along with these perceptions there are other assumptions that there are natural
outcomes of getting old e.g. vision, hearing, stamina etc.
