The Silver Economy
•
CGTN EUROPE
As populations age and birth rates fall, the so-called silver economy is becoming one of the biggest forces shaping our future.
On this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann asks whether longer lives will bankrupt the global economy or spark a new era of growth. From Europe’s pension protests to China’s booming elder-care market, retirement no longer looks the way it used to and governments are scrambling to adapt.
Joining Juliet to discuss the risks and opportunities Du Peng, Dean of the School of Population and Health at Renmin University, Nicholas Barr, Professor of Public Economics at the London School of Economics, and Haleh Nazeri, Longevity Economy Lead at the World Economic Forum.
