Andrew Scott was delighted to speak on the economics of longevity at the inaugural meeting of the Research Policy Network (RPM) in June 2025, held in Athens, Greece.
The conference addressed key issues surrounding ageing and longevity, including the macroeconomic impact of longer lives, demographic shifts and their influence on real interest rates, wealth accumulation in later life, and policies to enhance productivity and growth in ageing societies. It also explored how institutions must adapt to support a longevity society.
Preparing for the demographic transition requires a fundamental rethinking of how individuals and institutions navigate life’s evolving stages, alongside timely policy action. At the heart of this agenda is the promotion of healthy ageing.
This inaugural conference provided an essential platform to explore these topics, with the mission of advancing knowledge and accelerating progress in the economics of longevity and ageing.
