Three low-tech interventions could save the world’s healthcare systems more than $5.8 trillion and unlock another $645 billion in productivity by 2040. Fall-proofing homes, increasing levels of physical activity and expanding the use of hearing aids are affordable and simple examples that produce considerable returns when they are understood in the wider context of the longevity economy.

This insight report, The Longevity Dividend: The Business Case for Linking Health and Wealth, developed in collaboration with Marsh, deploys new quantitative analyses across 21 countries to underscore the business case for understanding longevity as an interlocking series of opportunities to improve lifelong physical and financial health. Longevity represents one of the most consequential, addressable and underestimated potential drivers of economic growth for countries with younger populations and older populations alike, and this report demonstrates how co-ordinated approaches that link health improvements to financial resilience will yield multitrillion-dollar opportunities in the years to come.
