Over the past century, average life expectancy around the world has more than doubled. Half of all babies born in the US today will live to see their 100th birthdays.
What does this mean for individuals, communities, and entire cultures? How does this affect the traditional models of education, work and retirement still in use today? And how can we prepare ourselves and subsequent generations for the challenges and benefits that longer lives bring?
We look for answers to these questions in our new podcast,
Century Lives
. Join host Marie Conley Smith in conversations with leading experts in academia, business, and public policy to discuss longer lifespans, and how we can stay mentally sharp, physically fit, and financially secure in these new
Century Lives.
