Abstract
Objective: To identify tools to combat ageism through intergenerational relationships in face of the demographic transition. Methods: This is an integrative review in which 21 articles were selected from Web of science, Pubmed, Embase, Portal Capes and Scopus. Results: It was observed that the greater the contact with the older population and the more knowledge about aging, in areas such as the educational environment, family, or professional caregivers, the fewer negative stereotypes were seen in relation to older people. The promotion of intergenerational relationships within the familial environment and in the job market was another important tool in combating ageism, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The positive effects of self-perceived aging were observed in people living in regions with slow population aging. Final considerations: The greater the knowledge about the aging process and contact with older people, the more positive attitudes and views towards this group were added as tools to combat ageism in various social spaces. As a limitation of the study, the scarcity of publications on intergenerational relationships and their impact on reducing ageism after the COVID-19 pandemic stands out.
