Increasingly elderly populations seen in countries such as Japan and Italy are set to become the norm everywhere in the coming decades. But will a more senior demographic make the cost of state pensions and healthcare unaffordable? And will it kill economic growth? Not necessarily so, according to today's guest, Andrew J Scott, professor of economics at the London Business School. He believes that the rapidly growing cohort of over-65s is something to celebrate. But he also warns that we need to radically rethink many of the policies that delivered this widespread longevity in the first place.

Can one age with grace and wisdom? Yes, according to Andrew J. Scott, author of the Longevity Imperative, one of the six books on the Financial Times' illustrious short list for best business books of the year . For Scott, aging in the 21st century requires a sharp shift in both personal and public policy attitudes to “old age”. No, we can't live forever, he reminds us, but we do need to make the necessary social, political and economic adjustments to enable us to enjoy the increasingly longer lives most of us now take for granted. Rather than medicalizing old age, he argues, we need to normalize it so that its a central feature of, rather than an epilogue to, the good life. Wise words from one of the world's leading authorities on aging.Andrew J. Scott is the world's leading expert on the economics of longevity and on ensuring that our lives aren't just longer but also happier, healthier and more productive. An award winning researcher, speaker, author and teacher he is a co-founder of The Longevity Forum, co-author of the global bestseller, “The 100 Year Life,” and a professor of economics at London Business School, Scott's research focuses on the implications of longevity and his advisory work on helping individuals, non-profits, corporations, and governments to seize the benefits of a longer-living society.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

If aging doesn't happen all at once, why should retirement? That's the question Merryn Somerset Webb explores with economist and author Andrew J Scott in this week's episode of Merryn Talks Money. They discuss the opportunities and challenges of living longer in the 21st century, and the complications it may inflict on your financial planning. Plus, senior reporter John Stepek joins to talk the quadruple lock and the pensions bidding war. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In today's stultified American gerontocracy, not everyone is convinced that we should care about old people. After all, aging baby boomers still control most of the wealth and power in an increasingly divided & inegalitarian country. But, in contrast with many of today's age warriors, Andrew J Scott cares about the old. In fact, the 58 year-old British business school academic has built a career on fetishizing long life. His latest book is entitled The Longevity Imperative in which he explains how to build a better society for healthier, longer lives. It all sounds very reasonable, although I suspect that age will come to replace social class as the driver of political conflict in the 21st century.Andrew J.

The last century saw a revolution in life expectancy. And this revolution will require us to shift what we do at every age and will demand a transformation of every aspect of our society. Most of us are now expected to live much longer than previous generations. But instead of seeing this as a precious gift of extra life, we see it as a burden, with ageing populations dogged by infirmity, dependent on an ever-decreasing number of young people to support them. Andrew J. Scott – the world's leading expert on the economics of longevity - argues it doesn't have to be like that. Our longer lives can be a source of hope and fulfilment if we seize the opportunity to invest in our health, skills, finances and relationships to support a flourishing longer life – for ourselves, and for the planet.

You might be surprised to learn that living to 100 years of age is no longer a rare feat. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that almost one-in-seven boys and one-in-five girls born today are expected to reach this milestone in the UK. The trend is clear: with advancements in technology and healthcare, a centenarian life is becoming the norm. But what does this mean for our everyday lives, especially in terms of work, planning, and even our mindset? This month on The Pension Confident Podcast we're discussing the increasing likelihood of the 100-year life. Join our host, Philippa Lamb, and our expert panel as they discuss both the emotional and financial realities of longer living: Economist and best-selling Co-Author of ‘The 100-Year Life', Andrew J.

What are “Blue Zones”? Where in the world do people live better and healthier lives? What makes them live longer and healthier? To answer these questions, Pedro Pinto interviews Dan Buettner in this episode of “It's Not That Simple”, a podcast by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. The author of five books on longevity and happiness, Buettner discovered the five places in the world—dubbed Blue Zones—where people lived the longest, healthiest lives and shared this information with the world. His books were all national bestsellers. Together with his writing, Buettner works in partnership with municipal governments, large employers, and health insurance companies to implement Blue Zones Projects in communities, workplaces, and universities. He is also a three-time Guinness World Record distance cycling holder. In this episode, Buettner explains what he means by “Blue Zones”: the five areas of the world where people live the longest, healthiest lives. He considers how our environment (the food we eat, our social habits, our incentives) affects our quality of life. Buettner then explores how factors like family or a sense of purpose can contribute to a longer life expectancy, and highlights how a “peasant diet” is an essential element of the “Blue Zone” life. Buettner also discusses what people in countries like the United States are doing wrong that makes them live shorter and less healthy lives than people in the “Blue Zones”. He also talks about his work with city governments in the United States to develop and implement policies to nudge people to adopt better habits and improve their well-being. Finally, he addresses the potential negative consequences of a longer life, in a conversation well worth listening to.More on this topic The Blue Zone: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest, Dan Buettner, 2008 Thrive.

Technological changes have economic impact. It's not just that technology allows more goods and services to be produced more efficiently and at greater scale. It's also that these changes disrupt previous assumptions about the conduct of human lives, human relationships, and the methods to save money to buy goods and services. A society in which people expect to die around the age of 100, or even older, needs to make different plans than a society in which people expect to die in their 70s.Some politicians, in unguarded moments, have even occasionally expressed a desire for retired people to "hurry up and die", on account of the ballooning costs of pension payments and healthcare costs for the elderly. These politicians worry about the negative consequences of longer lives. In their viewpoint, longer lives would be bad for the economy.But not everyone thinks that way. Indeed, a distinguished professor of economics, from the London Business School, Andrew J Scott, has studied a variety of different future scenarios about the economic consequences of longer lives. He is our guest in this episode.In addition to his role at the London Business School, Andrew is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Economic Policy Research and a consulting scholar at Stanford University's Center on Longevity.His research has been widely published in leading journals in economics and health. His book, "The 100-Year Life", has been published in 15 languages, is an Amazon bestseller and was runner up in both the FT/McKinsey and Japanese Business Book of the Year Awards.Andrew has been an advisor on policy to a range of governments. He is currently on the advisory board of the UK's Office for Budget Responsibility, the Cabinet Office Honours Committee (Science and Technology), co-founder of The Longevity Forum, a member of the National Academy of Medicine's International Commission on Health Longevity, and the WEF council on Healthy Ageing and Longevity.Follow-up reading:https://profandrewjscott.com/https://www.nature.com/articles/s43587-021-00080-0Topics addressed in this episode include:*) Why Andrew wrote the book "The 100-Year Life" (co-authored with Lynda Gratton)*) Shortcomings of the conventional narrative of "the aging society"*) The profound significance of aging being malleable*) Joint research with David Sinclair (Harvard) and Martin Ellison (Oxford): Economic modelling of the future of healthspan and lifespan*) Four different scenarios: Struldbruggs, Dorian Gray, Peter Pan, and Wolverine*) The multi-trillion dollar economic value of everyone in the USA gaining one additional year of life in good health*) The first and second longevity revolutions*) The virtuous circle around aging research*) Options for lives that are significantly longer even than 100 years*) The ill-preparedness of our social structures for extensions in longevity - and, especially, for the attainment of longevity escape velocity*) The possibility of rapid changes in society's expectations*) The three-dimensional longevity dividend*) Developments in Singapore and the UAE*) Two important political initiatives: supporting the return to the workforce of people who are aged over 50, and paying greater attention to national statistics on expected healthspan*) Themes from Andrew's forthcoming new book "Evergreen"*) Why 57 isn't the new 40: it's the new 57*) Making a friend of your future selfMusic: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain Declaration
W natłoku informacji o sztucznej inteligencji, czacie GPT, który umie napisać nam każdy tekst i zdać chyba już każdy egzamin, zaczęłam się zastanawiać jak będzie wyglądała nasza przyszłość. Co należy zrobić, by nie dać się zaskoczyć? Jak patrzeć na swoje wybory zawodowe, zmiany życiowe lub decyzje przed którymi stoimy? Wiele informacji straszy nas, że nasz zawód niedługo przestanie być potrzebny, bo wyprą nas działania sztucznej inteligencji. Zaczęłam poszukiwania informacji, przyglądałam się rozmowom na temat sztucznej inteligencji, które odbyłam kilka lat temu i w tych poszukiwaniach trafiłam na parę naukowców, którzy również starali się przeanalizować ten temat, patrząc właśnie z tego punktu widzenia. Jak będzie wyglądało nasze życie? Jak możemy zaprojektować własną przyszłość w zmieniającym się świecie? Andrew J.

On today's Intrigue Outloud, Andrew J. Scott joins to discuss a range of challenges and opportunities as the global population growth rate starts to slow, and how countries can adapt to support citizens through retirement and old age. Andrew J. Scott is a Professor of Economics at London Business School, consulting scholar at Stanford University's Center on Longevity, and author of the bestselling book The 100-Year Life.

How long can human beings live? Will it become increasingly normal for one to live up to 100 years? What impact will aging have in our societies? To answer these questions, Pedro Pinto interviews Andrew J. Scott in this episode of “It's Not That Simple”, a podcast by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. An expert on longevity and aging society, Andrew J. Scott is Professor of Economics at London Business School, having previously held positions at Oxford University, the London School of Economics and Harvard University. He was Managing Editor for the Royal Economic Society's Economic Journal and Non-Executive Director for the UK's Financial Services Authority (2009-2013). He is currently on the advisory board of the UK's Office for Budget Responsibility, the Cabinet Office Honours Committee (Science and Technology), co-founder of The Longevity Forum, a member of the WEF council on Healthy Ageing and Longevity and a consulting scholar at Stanford University's Center on Longevity. Scott is also the recipient of an ESRC grant for researching the economic longevity dividend. In this episode, Scott discusses how we have been able to increase our life expectancy so much in the last few decades. He considers how living longer is “a good thing”, but also the challenges it nevertheless poses. He addresses how governments and companies can deal with some of these challenges. Finally, Scott examines how in order to change the way people age and improve their quality of life at an older age, we must change and improve the way we live when they're younger, in a conversation well worth listening to.

Pat Thane, visiting Professor in History at Birkbeck, University of London chats with Andrew J Scott, co-founder of The Longevity Forum & Professor at LBS on how an ageing society has changed throughout history. The narrative on an ageing society should not be negative. One of the greatest achievements of the 20th century is longer lives. Grandparents and great grandparents are spending more time with their families than ever before in history. People used to age faster partially due to poverty but today humans into their 80's are remaining youthful and active. We must value this group as a society - the older age bracket is becoming the biggest demographic on the planet. https://thelongevityforum.com/
Dafina Grapci and Andrew J Scott, co-founders of The Longevity Forum discuss the new course at LBS, Business of Longevity. A healthy and long lifespan is not just a personal endeavor but is beneficial for society. Ageing well for one year is worth 38 trillion US dollars in the economy. If we are going to be healthy when we are old, we need to start earlier. People of all ages need to consider the many aspects of longevity. Longevity is not just health, it also involves skills, engagement and relationships. https://thelongevityforum.com/

Tom Kirkwood, a biologist and the associate dean of ageing for Newcastle University discusses with our co-founder Andrew J Scott how the concept of studying ageing emerged as a malleable challenge in biology. The study of longevity has evolved into not just looking at the cellular level but also thinking about what we can learn from growing older. https://thelongevityforum.com
In this episode, Pilar talks to Jacquie Doucette, host of the Beyond Retirement podcast. There is a whole new world past your retirement and through Beyond Retirement, Jacquie talks to people who have “retired to something rather than from something”. Jacquie looks for guests who can share their own experience in retirement, or something that can be of use to people about to retire, or new to retirement. Her ideal listener is someone who is about to retire and know what there is out there and how to get it. In fact, she was one of her listeners when she started the show. It's only been a month since Jacquie retired. The show has made her think of elements of her journey towards retirement she hadn't considered. She's heard from successful entrepreneurs, but also those who've struggled, and those who continue to grow in different ways. A common thread amongst her guests has been their optimism, which fits well with Jacquie's goal which is to help people be optimistic about their retirement. By the end of the first season, Jacquie was running out of ideas to talk about, so she went on a course to learn how to find and recruit guests. The show changed completely - in good and bad ways. It spinned a bit out of control… Right now, Jacquie has fully moved on to the next stage of her life and is looking at all the things that are possible and her next job is thinking about how to make her ideas happen. Her retirement gig is house sitting, looking after people's pets. She's also branding herself as a lifestyle specialist, building her brand through Beyond Retirement. Maybe at some point she will get to interview people in the locations she visits who have already retired, so that they can share their stories with her audience. Jacquie's advice for podcasters thinking of starting a show about their own transitions is to lay down on paper the transition, to see what it looks like. And for those looking to start podcasting, she's got a course, Podcasting for Newbies! https://beyondretirement.ca/podcasting-for-newbies/29.30mins Pilar shares her own reflections about the topic of “retirement” and why podcasting is a great way of expanding your thinking. Pilar has started reading :The 100 Year Life, living and working in an age of longevity” by Linda Gratton and Andrew J Scott. She's only 7% into it, but the premise is, we live a lot longer now than we did some time ago, so we need to change how we view the different stages of life. Traditionally we've thought of Education, Work, Retirement but this might not serve us. Like Jacquie's tag line suggests, it makes more sense to think about retiring towards something.Do we need another name in the English language for this stage of life? We retire a product from the shelves when the company making it closes down, for example. Of course retirement is not just about leaving a job but about drawing a pension, so there is that to consider.As an anecdote, in Spain you use 'jubilación' for retirement. And that word comes from jubilation. This section has moved away from the topic of podcasting itself, but this is the joy of podcasting. It's not about making podcasts. It's about broadening your thinking, with your guests or your listeners, it's about unashamedly pursuing your interests, asking questions (to yourself, your gIf you're thinking of starting your own podcasting adventure, I recommend Buzzsprout as host - click here for my affiliate link, which also gets you a little discount, and Riverside FM for recording, which you can access through this other affiliate link.

Lynda Gratton is a Professor of Management Practice at London Business School and the CEO and founder of HSM advisory. Lynda has authored over ten books, including The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity co-authored together with Andrew J. Scott. In her new book, Redesigning Work: How to Transform Your Organization and Make Hybrid Work for Everyone, Lynda discusses how to deliberately redesign work taking into account not only the specifics of each job, and the new possibilities for flexibility around time and place but also a range of other technological, social and ethical factors. She introduces a powerful framework for matching the needs of each type of work, by considering four productivity modes modes: energy, focus, coordination, and collaboration. Based on her experience supporting companies around the world, Lynda suggests three groups that play an integral role in redesigning work: leaders in their narrative and role modeling, line managers in working and building accountabilities, and the employees themselves. Together with Martin Reeves, Chairman of BCG Henderson Institute, Lynda dives deeper into how to embrace the historic inflexion point we currently find ourselves at, to redesign work for better employee satisfaction and retention, better customer engagement, and higher productivity. *** About the BCG Henderson Institute The BCG Henderson Institute is the Boston Consulting Group's think tank, dedicated to exploring and developing valuable new insights from business, technology, economics, and science by embracing the powerful technology of ideas.

Sam and Ivanna speak Adam Walker about the transformation in clinical data from his experience with CROs, sites and sponsors. Adam takes us through how clinical data collection has evolved from paper forms, to being collected digitally and now fully integrated with patients' existing devices. This shift increases the volume of data available, the quality of the data, but also puts additional pressure on the industry to make sense of the data in real time. Adam makes the point that technology companies have an advantage in identifying the value of the information collected - not only for treatment, but also to support preemptive lifestyle choices. His advice for anyone working in this field is to “not take the comfy chair” of how we used to do things. “The data has not changed, but how we collect it has changed” Adam Walker NotesGuest Adam Walker: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-walker-2327951/ 21st Century Cures Act: https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/selected-amendments-fdc-act/21st-century-cures-act The 100 Year Life by Lynda Gratton and Andrew J Scott: https://www.100yearlife.com/ Declaration of Helsinki: https://www.wma.net/policies-post/wma-declaration-of-helsinki-ethical-principles-for-medical-research-involving-human-subjects/ ICH: https://www.ich.org/GCP: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/human-regulatory/research-development/compliance/good-clinical-practiceCPRD: https://www.cprd.com/CDISC: https://www.cdisc.org/ Clinical Trials overview: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ Huxley Morton Podcast: https://www.huxleymorton.com/podcast.php Technology mentionedCTMSeProeDiaryRWE/ RWDAI/ MLEHREDCWearablesSmartphones ZoomFunctions mentionedStatistical Programming Data Management BiometricsAbbreviations & DefinitionsAI: Artificial IntelligenceCDISC: Clinical Data International Standards Consortium CTMS: Clinical Trial Management SystemCPRD: Clinical Practice Research DatalinkEDC: Electronic Data CaptureeDiary: Electronic Diary EHR: Electronic Health RecordsePRO: Electronic Patient Recorded OutcomesFDA: Food and Drug Administration GCP: Good Clinical PracticeICH: The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human UseMHRA: Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency ML: Machine LearningNHS: National Health ServiceRWD: Real-world DataRWE: Real-world Evidence
Co-founder of The Longevity Forum, Andrew J Scott interviews Lucy Kellaway, the co-founder of NowTeach. Lucy explains how her life has changes and she has found an exciting new chapter in retirement. From buying a new house to starting a fresh career as a teacher, Lucy discusses how we can look at retirement as an opportunity for a new profession which can benefit society. The intergenerational benefits have also been outstanding when looking at older educators. https://www.thelongevityforum.com
Andrew J Scott, co-founder of the Longevity Forum will be chatting with world renowned historian Niall Ferguson. Looking on the history of wars and pandemics, Andrew and Niall discuss how the pandemic has disrupted longevity. Progress has been halted recently in many ways by the pandemic from inequality to climate change. Has COVID been a distraction from other important issues? https://www.thelongevityforum.com
For this new episode of the Building Bridges podcast, I'm happy to share the conversation I had with Andrew Scott.I discovered Andrew's work (and that of his co-author Lynda Gratton) a few years ago when I read their book The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity. This book influenced my own work profoundly as I became more and more convinced that increased longevity and ageing of the population play a huge part in shaping the future of work.The second book they wrote together was published in 2020. The New Long Life: A Framework for Flourishing in a Changing World is as good as the first. It offers a more practical roadmap for individuals and governments. Adapting to the age of longevity involves all the dimensions of our lives (love, leisure, family life, savings, training, health….). It would be much too shortsighted to be content with just forcing people to postpone retirement.I read the second book during the pandemic and couldn't help but wonder, “What does the pandemic change?”, “Doesn't it make this book all the more relevant?”. That's why I'm thrilled to share this conversation I had with Andrew in which I asked him all my questions about the books he wrote with Lynda Gratton, and the impact of the pandemic.Andrew J. Scott is Professor of Economics at London Business School and a consulting scholar at Stanford University's Center on Longevity. He is co-founder of The Longevity Forum, an organisation aimed at achieving healthier longer lives, and member of the Cabinet Office Honours Committee (Science and Technology).How you age isn't destiny. It is profoundly influenced by your actions and beliefs. If you take a chronological approach to your age, then this encourages you to believe ageing occurs at the same fixed, invariant rate for everyone — one year every year. But from the perspective of the malleability of age, this is far from the case. It is fascinating to realise that only a quarter of how you age is genetically determined. That leaves considerable scope for your own actions, as well as events beyond your control, to exert an influence.The natural rhythm and structure of your life narrative is marked by calendar time and the passing of the years. In the face of longevity, if we want to reimagine age then we must first decouple the idea of a simple link between time and age. That requires imagining your age is malleable — as you live longer and with a greater chance of good health, then what it means to be forty, sixty or eighty years old will change in profound ways. It is the malleability that underpins the redesign of life stages. I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast! Please share it with someone else who you believe might like it too
George MacGinnis, Challenge Director of Healthy Ageing, UK Research and Innovation is interviewed by Andrew J Scott, Co-founder of The Longevity Forum and Professor of Economics at LBS. George explains how the UKRI Healthy Ageing Challenge is changing how we grow older from trailblazer entrepreneurs to housing solutions for mature persons. How do we tackle ageing inequalities to make living longer possible for everyone? There are numerous opportunities for firms in the ageing market which will allow people to remain active, productive, independent and socially connected across generations for as long as possible. https://thelongevityforum.com
Please note this podcast was recorded before the latest set of lockdown measures were announced and prior to the latest decision by the Monetary Policy Committee. It's on everyone's minds - what will happen to the economy post pandemic? Andy Haldane, Chief Economist to the Bank of England discusses with Andrew J Scott, Professor of Economics at London Business School the hardships countries have faced with the COVID shutdowns. Recovery is in the air, consumerism is up but what's next for our resilient population. We've experienced a year of shocks but how does it compare to other downturns in history. COVID has brought about government intervention that is similar to wartime levels of fiscal and monetary spending. Finally, how will this economic shock change the way we prepare for the future.
L’allongement de la vie et la transition démographique marquent une révolution dans notre rapport au travail et à la “carrière”, comme Nicolas et moi en avons parlé dans ce podcast “A deux voix” : Qu’est-ce “faire carrière” aujourd’hui ?La vie en trois phases (formation, travail, puis retraite) était la norme dans le paradigme fordiste. Elle associait une “phase” à chaque âge de la vie. Les carrières étaient linéaires et l’âge chronologique était déterminant.Après la dernière révolution technologique et grâce à une longévité inédite dans l’histoire humaine, les institutions de cet époque-là, pensées pour soutenir la vie active en trois phases (l’école, les syndicats, la sécurité sociale, les systèmes de retraite), volent en éclat. Il en va de même pour toutes les idées concernant l’âge.Dans leur livre précédent, The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity (2016), Gratton et Scott évoquaient déjà ce à quoi l’avenir du travail pourrait ressembler dans un contexte de vie (beaucoup) plus longue. Dans un livre publié cette année, les deux auteurs poursuivent cette réflexion entamée dans The 100-Year Life.L’une des idées les plus remarquables du livre, c’est que “l’âge est malléable” et que nous devrions cesser de nous focaliser sur l’âge chronologique pour regarder plutôt l’âge biologique et l’âge subjectif. Après tout, l’âge chronologique (indiqué sur nos actes de naissance) est une “invention” des bureaucraties modernes. D’ailleurs, avant le XXe siècle, on ne fêtait pas les anniversaires ! Ce qui comptait, c’était la validité de la personne et son rôle dans la communauté.L’âge est malléable. Comme le révèlent les travaux les plus récents des neurologues, notre cerveau a une plasticité surprenante. Quand votre cerveau est-il au mieux de sa forme ? Eh bien, cela dépend de ce que vous essayez de faire. C’est probablement à la fin de l'adolescence que vous serez le plus rapide en calcul mental. Mais c’est dans la trentaine que votre mémoire à court terme atteint son maximum. Quant à votre compréhension sociale et culturelle, elle ne sera à son apogée qu’une, deux ou trois décennies plus tard !Ces descriptions ne s'appliquent pas à tout le monde, bien sûr. Il existe des très grandes variations au sein même des “classes” d'âge. Ce qu’il faut savoir, c’est que la stimulation constante de votre cerveau contribuera à en maintenir la plasticité et la performance. Comme l’écrivent Andrew Scott et Lynda Gratton :La vraie raison pour laquelle vous ne pouvez pas apprendre de nouveaux tours à un vieux chien, ce n'est pas parce que le chien est devenu vieux, mais parce qu'il a cessé d’apprendre continuellement de nouveaux tours.Andrew J. Scott est professeur d'économie à la London Business School et chercheur consultant au Center on Longevity de l'université de Stanford. Lynda Gratton, elle, est professeure de gestion à la même London Business School, et psychologue de formation. À eux deux, ils abordent le sujet de la longévité sous toutes ses coutures. C’est en effet un phénomène qui intéresse autant les neurologues et les médecins que les économistes, les sociologues et les philosophes. C’est pour cela qu’ils ont souhaité aborder ce thème en mêlant plusieurs disciplines.Les experts et les politiques ont tendance à ne regarder le vieillissement que comme un fardeau et un “problème”. Les systèmes de retraite ne seront plus soutenables, dit-on, si le ratio actifs / inactifs atteint un certain seuil. C'est pourquoi, disent-ils, il faut augmenter l'âge de la retraite. À quelques exceptions, les gouvernements comme les employeurs agissent comme s’il ne fallait rien changer à la vie en trois phases, seulement l’ajuster ici ou là, par exemple, en allongeant la deuxième phase. Pour Gratton et Scott, ce sont en réalité toutes les institutions et les catégories qu’il s’agit de voir autrement ! L’âge n’est pas un “fardeau”, c’est un cadeau, pourvu qu’on le regarde autrement. Par exemple, il est indispensable de remodeler l'éducation pour en faire un processus qui dure toute la vie plutôt qu'un service que l’on ne consomme qu'à l'adolescence. De plus, les employeurs doivent mieux comprendre la valeur des travailleurs plus âgés. Un management qui sait tirer le meilleur parti des différentes générations est fait de souplesse et d’empathie : on ne devrait pas être obligé de prendre de plus en plus de responsabilités à mesure que l’on vieillit, on vous offre des opportunités de mobilité horizontale pour continuer à vous stimuler, et il est possible de s’arrêter un temps pour s’occuper d’un parent ou d’un enfant, sans voir sa carrière pénalisée.Pour mieux dénoncer les stéréotypes associés aux générations (baby-boomers, millennials, etc.), les auteurs s’appuient sur les travaux des chercheurs sur la longévité. Ils montrent notamment que les travailleurs âgés font souvent preuve d'une “intelligence cristallisée" grâce à laquelle "les informations, les connaissances, la sagesse et les stratégies s'accumulent au fil du temps".Mais il est tout aussi important que les individus eux-mêmes fassent preuve d’innovation et deviennent des “pionniers” de la vie multi-phases, pour mieux imaginer leur vie autrement en investissant dans la formation continue, en réfléchissant au travail qu'ils pourraient faire par la suite et en restant en contact avec les jeunes.Faisant valoir que "actuellement, trop de politiques d'entreprise sont incompatibles avec l'épanouissement humain", Gratton et Scott proposent un nouveau modèle d'entreprise qui invite les employeurs et les gouvernements à favoriser un environnement de travail plus tolérant à l'égard des parcours professionnels longs et non linéaires, et à assurer un meilleur équilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie privée. C’est un élément essentiel pour les travailleurs comme les chefs d'entreprise qui cherchent à s'adapter à un monde en transition.Le sujet nous tient à coeur. C’est pourquoi il occupe en place centrale dans la grille de Nouveau Départ. J’ai récemment interviewé le professeur Andrew Scott dans le cadre de Building Bridges. Nous enverrons bientôt à nos abonnés une transcription en français de cette interview. À suivre… This is a public episode.

I am honoured to be joined by the pre-eminent authority on longevity and co-author of ‘The 100 Year Life', Professor Andrew J Scott, to celebrate the 100th episode of The Retirement Café podcast. Andrew J. Scott is Professor of Economics at London Business School and a consulting scholar at Stanford University's Center on Longevity. He is best known as the co-author of two groundbreaking books that have taken the world by storm: ‘The 100 Year Life', published in 2016 and his second book with Lynda Gratton ‘The New Long Life'. Through multi-award-winning research, writing and teaching, Professor Scott's pioneering work and ideas inform a global understanding of the profound shifts reshaping our world and impacting us all, and envision the actions needed for us to flourish individually and as a society. Board member and advisor to a range of corporates and governments, he is co-founder of The Longevity Forum, an organisation aimed at achieving healthier longer lives, and member of the Cabinet Office Honours Committee (Science and Technology). We discuss Andrew's books and what how we need to change our approach to life if we're to live 100 years successfully.
Merryn talks to economist and author Andrew J Scott and discusses how we can profit from the "longevity dividend" as we live longer; why we need to rethink our concepts of ageing; and why you will need to reinvent yourself in middle age to live a long, healthy life.
The future may be unknowable but one thing's for sure; we are all living longer. How do we make the most of this long life without getting too sick to enjoy it or running out money? Lynda Gratton is Professor of Management Practice at the London Business School where she directs The Future of Work course - she's also a fellow of the World Economic Forum. Andrew J Scott is Professor of Economics at The London Business School and has taught at Harvard, LSE and Oxford University and advises governments and corporates around the world.
