A slice of life

Welcome to the latest of A slice of life from Canada Life UK. In this edition, we're spotlighting our Life100+ video panel discussion: The Longevity Opportunity, which you can watch below.

Hosted by Rebecca Gladstone , Head of PR and Public Policy at Canada Life UK, the discussion brings together:

• Lyndsey Simpson , CEO & Founder, 55/Redefined
• David Sinclair , CEO, International Longevity Centre - UK
• Lisa Edgar , CEO, the Big Window and our Life100+ research partner
• Keily Vanstone , Head of Marketing, Brand & Comms and Life100+ lead, Canada Life UK

Together they unpack the longevity megatrend: fewer births, more people living into their 80s, 90s and 100s, and what this means for the UK workforce, economy and society.

▶️ Watch the panel discussion below to hear their insights on:

• The workplace reality: over 50s as a major growth segment, and why only 1 in 8 employers has a longevity strategy
• What older workers actually want: progression rather than promotion, flexible work and strong protection and health benefits
• Economics and policy: why working just a bit longer can have an impact on savings, pensions and the wider economy
• Rethinking the shape of life: moving beyond the old learn-work-retire model and helping people plan more flexible, fulfilling, longer lives
