Enjoyed speaking with @Freakonomics about the opportunities in an ageing world. We hear too many negative narratives but societies can thrive if we adapt. https://t.co/iLQ1HMsemA

Delighted to have written this piece with Peter Piot for @IMFNews: Investing in human & social capital in later life is key to turning longer lives into an opportunity—not a crisis. Demography isn’t destiny. Policy must adapt. https://t.co/xleVrWEXDi

Delighted the @IMFNews as part of their World Economic Outlook focused on demographic change and not just the usual tale of doom and gloom but also what can be done to support individuals, society and the economy age better. Listen to conversation here:

We have reframed an ageing population wrongly. The Longevity Imperative argues it's a triumph of the 20th century—and a major 21st-century opportunity. Now out in paperback: https://t.co/I1tCo3FFkX. Great FT review by Stephen Cave:

We are always told that age is just a number which raises the question – what number? How do we measure ageing and how ‘old’ someone is? Great to see @sarahoconnor_ @FT tackle this issue in her article https://t.co/cH7CqDUu6x Cited work w/ Rainer Kotschy & @DavidEBloom
