Ageism is real and it doesn't just apply to the elderly. If I had a quarter for every time I was passed over or underestimated because I'm young...I'd have a lot of quarters. It doesn't matter that I'm in my mid-twenties, people still treat me like I'm fresh out of college and it's annoying. Ageism rears it's head in the workplace in a variety of ways that can range from your ideas being dismissed in meetings to being paid considerably less than the average employee.
