Recommendation
Global life expectancy is on the rise. While living longer might sound like a gift, to make the most of that time, you must maximize your “healthspan.” Economics professor and longevity researcher Andrew J. Scott urges businesses, policymakers, and health care providers to take steps to ensure older people enjoy a better quality of life, as doing so benefits society as a whole. In his deep dive into the intersection between public health and economies, Scott calls for a mindset shift about what it means to age, how societies define good health, and the roles older people play in modern life.
