NESTA has produced an excellent infographic on the seven generations that are daily becoming longer-lived and it speculates on five major issues which will require systemic innovation for this ageing population tsunami
-
Social places: mobilising people to help one another so that older people can live well and independently for longer.
-
People power health; bridging the social into the medical by combining clinical expertise with self-management and peer support to improve health outcomes
-
Purposeful work: new employment option that enable people to work purposefully and enjoyably in the second half o life.
-
Plan for life: creating a sense of opportunity as we enter the second half of life - a chance to take stock, reskill, plan ahead for later years, connect with others and live more healthily
-
Living room enabling older people to live where they want through new housing models which compose high quality accommodation with friendships and support.
