We are pleased to announce that GIA Longevity has collaborated on the development of the report “Future-Proofing the Longevity Economy: Innovations and Key Trends”, recently published by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Mercer. This report examines how demographic transitions, technological advancements, and climate change are reshaping financial resilience and economic participation across all life stages.
The report identifies five key trends to strengthen the longevity economy:
- Building resilient public retirement systems: Adapting pension systems to ensure their sustainability and responsiveness to an aging population.
- Shifting from accumulation to decumulation of savings: Developing strategies that facilitate the efficient use of savings during retirement.
- Enhancing the role of employers in financial well-being: Engaging companies in promoting employees’ financial health through benefits and financial education.
- Addressing the care economy and long-term care needs: Recognizing and tackling the economic challenges associated with caring for older and dependent individuals.
- Supporting financial pathways for economic growth: Implementing policies that foster financial inclusion and sustainable economic development.
This report underscores the urgent need for bold action by governments, businesses, and civil society to build systems that enable people of all generations to thrive in this evolving global landscape.
At GIA Longevity, we are honored and grateful to have been part of the group of institutions that contributed to this important project. We extend our special thanks to Haleh Nazeri, Isabela Bartczak, Lin Shi, Graham Pearce, and the Mercer team for making this initiative possible.
