Adultism is the abuse of the power that adults have over children.^[1] It has been defined as "the power adults have over children",^[1] "prejudice and accompanying systematic discrimination against young people",^[2] and "bias towards adults... and the social addiction to adults, including their ideas, activities, and attitudes". This phenomenon is said to affect families, schools, justice systems and the economy, in addition to other areas of society. Its impacts are largely regarded as negative, except in cases related to child protection and the overriding social contract.^[3] Increased study of adultism has recently occurred in the fields of education, psychology, civic engagement, higher education and further, with contributions from Europe, North America and South America.^[4]
