The Business of Longevity

The Business of Longevity: Financing the silver economy

Despite growing urgency, the financial and policy requirements needed to support the ageing population are still not firmly in place. Populist politics and financial pressures make implementing solutions to the longevity challenge – increasing immigration, fertility and retirement savings and retaining older workers – harder than ever.

Even with the challenges, the longevity market is predicted to be one of the biggest growth opportunities in the global economy, especially for financial services, insurers and companies willing to adapt.

At our second annual Business of Longevity event, we will discuss how to tap into silver economy:

• What models for retirement savings are promising and where are reforms needed?
• What policies to support ageing populations are performing well?
• How can the economic interests of the young be balanced with the needs of the old?
• How are businesses harnessing the spending power of older consumers and where are the most promising investment opportunities?

Chaired by Economist editors, the event will bring together leaders from financial services, insurance, risk management and policy to discuss how best to adapt financial products, create new business strategies and re-align public policies to capitalise on the longevity economy.
