QUESTION 1
7 PointsIn your own words and using our module materials describe the longevity economy and population aging.The longevity economy is about how businesses can benefit from more older people. As people live longer, they keep spending money and working, which creates new opportunities for companies. This shift in the population also brings challenges, like higher healthcare costs and making sure older people can retire comfortably. Population aging, which is more older people in the population, is the main reason for these changes. It’s important for businesses and society to understand and adapt to this shift for everyone’s benefit.
QUESTION 2
7 PointsWhat opportunities do you think this aging population and economy will bring?Many possibilities across sectors are presented by the aging population and economy. The need for medical services and assisted living facilities will rise in the healthcare industry. Wearable tech and healthcare services are examples of how technology can innovate. Investment management and retirement planning will be covered by financial services. For seniors, leisure and travel can offer customized itineraries and lodging. Housing can create possibilities with accessible design elements that are age-friendly. Reentry or employment of older individuals will be aided by workforce development. Programs for socialization and assistance for caregivers will become part of social services. In general, companies have a sizable market in which to develop and provide goods and services that cater to the changing demands of senior citizens.
QUESTION 3
6 PointsThink about yourself at 85 years old? What do you imagine you will be doing, where will you be living etc.?When I’m 85, I want to be active and involved in a variety of things, and I want to preserve my mental and physical abilities. I picture myself living in a calm neighborhood surrounded by beautiful scenery, where calmness promotes general well-being and mental peace. My everyday schedule will involve outside activities such as walking, gardening, and maybe even light yoga in beautiful scenery. In addition, I plan to dedicate enough time to reading a wide range of literature in order to keep my mind active and sharp. Furthermore, my goal is to cultivate social bonds, which I hope to do through neighborhood get-togethers, cultural activities, or just deep talks with loved ones. By adopting a healthy lifestyle that has an emphasis on both mental and physical stimulation.
