As Martin Wolf argues in the FT today, the good news is that life expectancy continues to climb (albeit with occasional blips, like the one the UK is currently working through), but the bad news is we haven't reconfigured our social mores & practices to recognise this demographic change.
Improvements in longevity are unevenly distributed but the key to making this work for everyone is better public health provision & clearer notions of lifetime learning & supporting career change(s).
