Benefiting From The Third
Demographic Dividend
Adding years to our lives
offers two huge opportunities:
a new life stage for people
globally, and the opportunity
to design it for meaning and
benefit to the individual,
their families, and society. Key to unleashing these
opportunities are investing in health so that people arrive
at older age healthy and stay healthy, and building new
roles and responsibilities for this new life stage, and the
social institutions that enable all older adults having
the opportunities that match their needs and goals.
Such an approach could enable building a previously
unforeseen Third Demographic Dividend, in which the
assets of an aging population are brought to fruition, and
societies are stronger because of longer lives. Envisioning
the opportunities could set goals across sectors with
alignment.
JO ANN JENKINS
AARP
Disrupt Aging
We have made tremendous
progress when it comes to
global aging. Yet, societies
have not kept up with the
advancements that science,
technology and innovation are
making possible.
Jo Ann Jenkins, CEO of AARP, believes it is time to
coalesce around this progress and create a movement to
“Disrupt Aging”—to change the conversation about what
it means to grow older so aging can be something to
look forward to; not something to fear. She will talk about
the need to challenge outdated beliefs and spark new
solutions so more people can choose how they want to
live and age.
Listen to thought leaders as they provide their unique perspectives on aging
at the IAGG 2017 World Congress in San Francisco.
