The demographic transition that is currently underway – driven by longer lifespans – calls for the establishment of a new framework to ensure that our society remains resilient, equitable and sustainable in the future. Against this backdrop, the promotion of longevity literacy, with a focus on health, purpose and financial resilience, is essential. The public sector needs to adapt in order to address these changing demographics, while the private sector must overcome the challenges of an aging population and shrinking workforce. Financial service companies have an important role to play in this context by helping individuals to invest, save and build a secure future. At the same time, companies in selected sectors can harness new opportunities by placing a greater emphasis on healthy aging, financial literacy and caregiving.
With this conference, the EFG Gamma Foundation is bringing together a number of experts to share their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities created by this era of increasing longevity. In doing so, it aims to draw attention to one of the most significant trends shaping the future and to emphasise the importance of considering economic, business, financial, social and policy aspects of longevity today to build resilient economies and thriving societies tomorrow.
