By 2030, it's estimated one out of every six people on Planet Earth will be over 60. In Japan, nearly 30% of the population is already over 65. But Poland, Romania, Cuba, Serbia, and South Korea? They're some of the fastest-aging societies on the planet, as well.   Ray Suarez chats with Joseph F. Coughlin, founder and director of the MIT AgeLab, about how leaps in technology have led to longer life spans — and why it may be the key to making the most out of borrowed time.

In 1900 the average American lived to age 47, today this average has increased over 30 years to 79. By 2050 21% of the US population will be over 65 and this aging trend is worldwide. Yet, outside of sleeker looking adult diapers and products that help people when they fall and can’t get up, consumer product companies have largely ignored this cohort even though their spending power is $8 trillion dollars in the United States alone. Joseph F. Coughlin is the Founder and Director of the MIT AgeLab, which for the past twenty years has focused on creating new ideas, products and services that help people live fully productive and engaged lives as they age. Joseph also recently published the highly acclaimed “The Longevity Economy: Unlocking the World’s Fastest Growing, Most Misunderstood Market”, which explores the insights on aging and the business opportunities that he and his team have discovered since the AgeLab was founded in 2009. In this podcast Luminaries editor Kay Corry Aubrey sat and talked with Joseph, to learn more about his work and ideas as well as the innovative techniques he and his team use to learn from older people around the world.

Expert panel on the future of a generation that continues to shape the future of our nation. This year, the Boomer generation’s youngest members celebrate 50th birthdays. And most who celebrated their 50th can expect to celebrate their 80th. As life expectancies hit a new peak, the wave of millions of adults living active, adventurous lives is so great in size and shift, it’s creating a new life stage -- something that hasn’t occurred since we created the “Retirement” life stage in the 1950s, and “Adolescence” at the turn of the 20th century. Boomers are changing ageing for everyone that will follow them, and creating new models of ageing informed by new expectations, different goals, and an entirely new way of thinking. What will this life stage look like? How will Boomers change the way our policies our executed, our cities our shaped, and our entertainment is produced? Throughout 2014, AARP will celebrate Boomers@50+. This panel will reflect on how Boomers have changed the world and ask – what’s next? Joseph F. Coughlin, Jeffrey Cole, Myrna Blyth, Ronald Brownstein
