S3 Ep.2 The Longevity Imperative with Andrew Scott

Beyond Curious with LCP

This week, David Fairs and Steve Webb talk to Andrew Scott, author and global macro economist and longevity specialist. We talk about Andrew’s ideas that as a society we need a different approach to the way we understand and frame ageing. The traditional 20th century approach is that life falls into three stages - education, work and retirement. This doesn’t fit with increasing life expectancy trends. There needs to be cultural and political shifts to allow people to lead healthier and more productive longer lives and to think about careers differently.
