By 2050, 1 in 6 people globally will be over 65 - up from 1 in 11 in 2019. As people live longer lives than ever before, what are the key ingredients for an old age that is meaningful, enjoyable, healthy and secure? Here, three experts discuss how to ensure prosperous longer lives: Paul Gruenwald of S&P Global Ratings, Boon Heong Ng of Temasek Foundation and Bei Wu of NYU Shanghai. The World Economic Forum’s Global Longevity Initiative convenes leaders across sectors, to shift from reactive care to proactive health, from retirement planning to lifelong financial resilience, and from fragmented efforts to coordinated action helping ensure that longer lives are healthier, more resilient and lived with dignity.
