If an elderly person has good work ability but is assumed inactive only due to age which value is weakened?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Respect for age and dignity
Treating an older person as incapable or inactive solely because of age is age-based discrimination. It weakens respect for the person’s dignity, self-respect, and work ability. Market demand relates to the sale or need for goods and is not a value concerning fair treatment of an individual. Exam tip: Judge work capacity by health, skills, and actual performance, not by age alone.
