- Ageing and Longevity
- Curation: Stanford Center on Longevity, Stanford University
- Life expectancy in most countries has roughly doubled since 1900, marking one of the greatest accomplishments in human history. Now, scientific advances and new social roles are needed so that older people can live with purpose and dignity. Beyond simply adding years, we can improve the quality of life if we see things through the lens of longevity. The Stanford Center on Longevity’s “A New Map of Life” initiative has been examining how to change the very nature of education, recast work-life trajectories, and align our environments, lifestyles, and healthcare systems in ways that lead to more happy and productive years. Ultimately, we can get to a point where we see longer lives not as a burden, but as a benefit.
This briefing is based on the views of a wide range of experts from the World Economic Forum’s Expert Network and is curated in partnership with Martha J. Deevy, Associate Director and Senior Research Scholar, and Ken Smith, Senior Research Scholar, Stanford Center on Longevity, in addition to Stanford Center on Longevity “A New Map of Life” Fellows.
