Fascinating interview with Nobel laureate Bob Solow on rise of MIT economics, technology and income distribution. Great emphasis on not seeing the future of work only as a technological problem but one which needs social solutions too

The productive career of Robert Solow

Sure, he won a Nobel for his research on technology, productivity, and growth. But his legacy as a mentor is equally remarkable.

Ageing societies arise from low birth rates and extended lifespans, leading to fewer youths and more older persons. Instead of highlighting the rise in the elderly, we need to emphasize longevity, shifting focus from age to sustained life quality.

We are too focused on an #AgeingSociety - more older ppl - than a longevity agenda. It's time to change the narrative and realise the #Longevity Dividend. Read my full interview w/ @Fabienn_eS for @swisslife_group

Adult education and lifelong learning isn’t just needed because of technology. Without it as retirement ages increase we will just swap pensions for unemployment benefit. #100yearlife #ageing

As more and more people live into older ages the use of chronological age as an indicator of health needs becomes less and less useful due to diversity amongst how a multitude of people age. Need broader measures of health and functional age @jameshamblin

Longer lives & new tech will transform jobs - a corporate agenda for multistage lives w/ multiple entry & exit points, a refashioning of retirement & a flexible work environment that supports carers and careers. () #thenewlonglife #tech #ai #aging

As number of older people rises ‘parental leave’ will be redefined. As with children if we don’t create policies that support both men and women combining work with family demands an ageing society will be a huge backward step for women and work #ageing

When talking about #longevity & #100yearlife I am often asked whether recent UK life expectancy data undermines the need to prepare for longer lives. Here are a few comments explaining why rather than undermine the debate they actually make it more urgent

Whilst GDP declines rapidly, economists furiously pounding keyboards to boost output. Race is on what to call this episode.We had 'Great Depression'& 2007/8 'Great Recession'. Heard 1st use today of "Great Cessation" (thx Martin Ellison @NuCampEconomics ). Think we have a winner

Couldn’t agree more “The biggest barrier to the much needed paradigm shift towards healthy ageing is not scientific or technological but political – policymakers should focus on the lifelong ageing process.” @APPGLongevity @UKParliData @BritishAcademy_

Chronological measures of age do not capture most important part of ageing which is how we age. Governments need to focus on healthy ageing but also recognise that dealing with an ageing society begins a long time before people get old #aging

Good read on insignificance of generational labels. Such labels an invention of 20th century when society became more stratified based on age. Did less intergenerational contact lead to less interaction and greater interest in stereotypes?

Pleased to see my Three Dimensional Longevity Dividend paper published @NatureAging Focuses on achieving healthy&productive aging so healthy life expectancy matches life expectancy whilst providing income longer lives need.

More than 50% workers over 60 not ready to retire but more than 40% find age discrimination an issue. Something has to give. #retirement

Most policy analysis of ‘ageing’ focuses on end of life. Whether we 80 days or 80 year old are all ageing. Ageing a recursive process that links all stages of life #100yearlife #NMOL

Investing in our future longevity through education, physical exercise, and preventative medicine is crucial. People need to consider their longevity plan earlier in their lives. @longevitytech #agingwell #longevityhealth
