ABSTRACT
The young and the old are inherently vulnerable to the workings of power in a society dominated by the middle-aged. This situation is an outcome of the gradual exclusion of the two ends of the life cycle from productive roles, despite their increasing biological capacities. Consequences of age-based exclusion include economic discrimination, age stereo-typing, and territorial segregation.
