Ira Pastor Comments
Today’s show will continue a theme we began a few week ago: in the world of today (and the future), we face a major demographic shift. By 2050, it is estimated that the population 65+ years old and older will make up 18% of global population. This group includes an estimated 500 million octogenarians.
How can we foster innovation to cope with the aging population that, it goes without saying, is poised to put a strain on economies, healthcare systems, and social structures around the world?
How can we ensure that the incredible wealth in this world is used to fund the next generation of \”healthy longevity\” breakthroughs?
Dr. Victor Dzau
