The Global Age Wave

Based on the largest international study on aging to date conducted by Age Wave, The Future of Retirement in a World of Rising Longevity, this mind-boggling presentation offers cutting-edge insights into the global population shifts that are occurring and what they mean for business and society.

Which sectors and products will shrink and which will grow? Is mandatory retirement a thing of the past? How will work practices and policies need to change to prevent a “brain drain?” Who will pay for the hundreds of millions of long-lived men and women? Which countries are hopeful about their aging prospects and which are fearful? Which countries have done the best job of preparing financially, socially and politically for the age wave?
