Future-Proofing the Longevity Economy: Innovations and Key Trends
The world is at a pivotal moment in its demographic transition, with more than one in four people now living in countries where the population has peaked. This shift, coupled with increasing life expectancy and declining birth rates, presents both urgent challenges and unprecedented opportunities.
The world is at a pivotal moment in its demographic transition, with more than one in four people now living in countries where the population has peaked. This shift, coupled with increasing life expectancy and declining birth rates, presents both urgent challenges and unprecedented opportunities.
Building on the Longevity Economy Principles, this white paper synthesizes five key trends shaping the future of the longevity economy: building resilient public retirement systems; transitioning from savings accumulation to decumulation; enhancing the role of employers in financial well-being; addressing the economics of caregiving and long-term care; and supporting financial pathways for economic growth.
Without bold action, the world risks financial instability, overwhelmed care systems and a workforce unprepared for the future. By highlighting scalable innovations, the paper emphasizes the need for governments, businesses and civil society to act now to create systems that enable people of all generations to thrive.
