Age isn’t a factor in hiring, so there’s no need to put it on there. It could only be a detriment to the applicant.

It’s generally not hard to figure out someone’s age if their work and education history is listed

Some of us don’t clutter up our resumes with every job we’ve ever had. My resume lists nothing irrelevant to my current career. I was well into adulthood at that time. Who cares where I went to highschool? It demonstrates respect for the time of the person tasked with reading a stack of resumes to not waste their time.

People probably don’t care where you went to high school, but they probably care if you have a degree and when you got it. Most people go to university within a few years of finishing high school.

According to US statistics, “overall college enrollment rate of 18- to 24-year-olds (ages in which students traditionally enroll in college) was 38 percent in 2021”.
So if by “most people” you mean, “less than half” then yes you are correct.
