This episode explores how shifts in global aging – with masses of people living to a very old age – will transform society. Our guest is Bradley Schurman, an expert on demographic change and how it disrupts social, cultural, political, and economic norms. Brad is CEO of the global research and advisory firm, The Super Age, where he assists organizations with their age-inclusion, workplace planning and other strategies. We discuss his insightful and futuristic book, The Super Age: Decoding Our Demographic Destiny. He talks about how the growing pool of healthy people aged 50+ is changing how employers recruit workers and plan for the future. He describes how demographic moves may impact our communities and the markets that serve them. And he comments on the longevity gap between rich people and poor people.
