    From Success to Significance: A Legacy of Purpose for Longer Lives

    Laura Carstensen, Michael Eisner, Mark Friedman, Paul Irving, Joanne Jenkins

    As life expectancy rapidly expands and the Baby Boomer generation transitions into old age, society faces a critical shortage of cultural infrastructure to support decades of extended vitality. Experts argue that retiring at 65 is an unsustainable model, urging a shift toward continuous "encore careers" and intergenerational mentorship to unlock a longevity dividend for solving global challenges. Without new social scripts and institutional innovations like purpose-driven work models, the potential of older adults to address complex issues such as climate change and caregiving shortages will remain dangerously underutilized.
