    The Business of Aging: Capitalizing on the Demographic Shift

    Patricia (Pat) Milligan, Kirsten Axelsen, Laura Carstensen, Camilla Cavendish, Scott Frisch, Pat Milligan

    Global demographics are driving a critical divergence between rising life expectancy and stagnant healthy aging, creating urgent labor supply pressures and widening socioeconomic health gaps. Contrary to prevailing myths, data indicates that older workers enhance team productivity and stability, yet systemic barriers like age bias and a lack of targeted retention strategies continue to exclude them from the workforce. Experts recommend shifting from age-based to life-stage benefits and fostering flexible, two-way conversations to integrate aging populations into a reimagined career lifecycle.
