Enjoyed speaking with @Freakonomics about the opportunities in an ageing world. We hear too many negative narratives but societies can thrive if we adapt. #aging #longevity #futureofwork #healthspan.

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.

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 Cited work w/ Rainer Kotschy & @DavidEBloom

Thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with @martinwolf_ from the @FT for his “The Economics Show” where we discussed the macro issues around an #ageingsociety and the importance of adapting and the required policies.
