Program Description
“We need to focus on the way that people are living now and that they are going to live in the future and not just how they lived in the past.”
Julián Castro - Former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

“The ‘Silver Economy’ ... includes not just the direct purchases of products and services by our older citizens, but also the economic activity generated by their spending and broader needs. It includes every dollar spent by consumers, companies and governments on products, services and activities that enhance the quality of life of aging people, as well as the jobs, taxes, charitable giving and additional value that gets created in the process… Beyond purchasing power, businesses that embrace age-friendly workplaces can benefit from an advantage in the competition for talent.”
“As we live longer, our society is being transformed in ways we couldn’t have imagined. It’s vital that individuals and businesses recognize the tremendous potential of this longevity revolution. Far from being an economic challenge, our aging population could generate the most significant economic opportunity of our lifetime.”
