It's the Life in Your Years: Reimagining Retirement for Longer, Healthier Lives
June 23 at 12:00 pm PDT / 3:00 pm EDT
Advances in public health and bioscience have added decades to average lifespans over the past century. But the way we plan has not met the moment. As evidence builds about the connections between healthy longevity and work, purpose, learning, and financial security, it is increasingly clear that traditional retirement must be reimagined. How should it change to ensure that older adults can realize the upsides and mitigate the risks? How should future retirees prepare? A panel of multi-sectoral experts will discuss the future of retirement and opportunities to advance policies, practices, equity, and cultural norms to support longer, healthier, and more meaningful lives.
