Rethinking the Future: The Opportunities of Longevity
Body

On June 14th, the Urban Institute, in collaboration with the Stanford Center on Longevity, hosted a discussion on the challenges and opportunities for living well while living longer. The event explored issues and policy initiatives across the age span, from millennials to baby boomers.

Motivated by the Stanford Center on Longevity’s Sightlines Report, this conversation brought together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and philanthropists. In a series of panel discussions, we considered the potential for policy action and new research in three areas:

  • Living Long, Living Well: Prospects for successful longevity and how they vary by income, race, and ethnicity;
  • Rethinking the Future: Opportunities for assuring well-being across the life span;  and
  • Policy Initiatives: Promising policy interventions to promote financial security by facilitating work in retirement, supporting caregivers, adapting to the changing future of work, and other actions.
