Longer,Better:Understanding Longevity Literacy2ContentsForewordHow will you reimagine your longer life?People are living longer than at any other time in history.In 1950,the global average life expectancy was approximately 48 years;by 2019,that number had risen to 73 years.Individuals from around the world are living on average two to three decades longer than past generations.While this longer lifespan is an incredible achievement in terms of advances in healthcare,it also poses new challenges and considerations for individuals,primarily how to finance these extra decades of life.The World Economic Forum and Mercer have been working together to help uncover innovative solutions that address some of the biggest questions on the future of retirement and pensions in a rapidly ageing world.Through a series of global workshops,virtual seminars and working group meetings,a consensus was reached on what is needed to ensure individuals enjoy longer lives and surprisingly,it is not all about finances.It has become clear that to help people plan a long,healthy,resilient and sustainable life,a holistic approach is required,one that emphasizes more than just financial resilience,but also prioritizes health,human connections,purpose and quality of life.Haleh NazeriCentre Curator,Financial and Monetary Systems,World Economic ForumRichard NuzumExecutive Director,Investments and Global Chief Investment Strategist,MercerThis report introduces the concept of longevity literacy,which empowers individuals to live a healthy and sustainable life with dignity and purpose,while building resilience to address the challenges of an evolving world.As individuals consider what is needed to be successful in a potentially 100-year life,they need to focus on three core principles:quality of life,purpose and financial resilience.To better understand how individuals view longer lives,the report also includes the results of a Pulse Poll asking respondents their views on longevity,including questions related to ageing,retirement planning,lifelong learning and caregiving.The responses are fascinating and offer new insights into how individuals view a longer life.Finally,the report concludes with a set of concrete actions that every stakeholder individuals,business and government can use to address the three core principles of longevity literacy.Ageing populations,and the social and economic transformations they bring,will affect every nation around the world.Countries not currently experiencing significant ageing will inevitably face this challenge over time.However,this does not have to be a surprise or a challenge to be surmounted.In fact,if all stakeholders,including business,government and individuals,take proactive measures to evolve and adapt to ageing populations,this can be a chance to innovate how people live,work,study,save and retire in the years to come.Andre BelelieuHead,Financial Services Industries,World Economic ForumLiving Longer,Better:Understanding Longevity Literacy3ContentsExecutive summaryHowever,there is one global issue with widespread economic and social consequences that we do know about and that we can act on now:changing global demographics as people live longer in nearly every country around the world.While life expectancy increased from an average of 48 to 73 years between 1950 and 2019,the United Nations projects further increases,estimating that global average life expectancy will reach around 81 years by 2100.These higher numbers are already evident in countries such as Japan,where over 28%of the population is aged 65 or older,and in European countries including Italy,Germany and Greece where 23%of the population is over 65.As people are living longer lives,business,government and individuals need to reimagine how they view ageing and retirement and explore new approaches to address this emerging demographic transformation.Failing to adopt a multistakeholder approach towards longevity will inevitably result in a significant portion of people retiring into poverty.People will always try to predict the unpredictable.There are countless global issues with no clear answers:where will the next geopolitical crisis arise,what impact will climate change have on communities,and what lies ahead for the global economy?This report focuses on several key issues:explaining the concept of longevity literacy as an essential element of a resilient and sustainable long life;providing new insights into how individuals perceive ageing and retirement;and offering solutions for each stakeholder to address the critical elements of longevity literacy quality of life,purpose and financial resilience.The audience for this report is diverse and wide-ranging.It is designed to reach individuals from any background from any part of the world,to help them start rethinking how they will design their longer life and,more importantly,how they will finance it.The report is aimed at all generations,not just those nearing retirement age or considering retirement in the next few years.It is relevant for recent graduates in their twenties,professionals in their thirties and forties advancing in their careers,and individuals in their fifties and sixties,who may be approaching retirement with apprehension.Moreover,this report provides a roadmap of the key factors everyone should consider as the world enters a new demographic era in which the three-stage life of school,work and retirement is giving way to a multistage life that includes a variety of different paths,including lifelong learning,career breaks and new occupations in later life.Changes to the global population are coming.These will require new innovations and solutions to help address how people can stay financially resilient during a retirement that might be 20 years longer than it was for their grandparents.This demographic transformation will offer individuals a chance to implement new approaches to longer lives and reassess how people studied,lived,worked,saved and retired in the past century.Living Longer,Better:Understanding Longevity Literacy4ContentsBy gender(total:397)By age split(total:397)By race(total:397)Pulse poll outputWhile the Longevity Literacy Pulse Poll was promoted by Mercer,the World Economic Forum and its partners via their networks and connections to their global corporate clients,it is important to consider the limitations of the sample:The results of the pulse poll are subject to limitations,as the respondents profiles were homogeneous and predominantly included those who had undertaken higher education,were in more senior positions,were likely to be in employment at major global organizations and with a high level of individual agency and financial literacy.With approximately 400 responses,the sample size offers 90%confidence that it is representative of the personal and financial challenges of millions of educated professionals likely to be employed in global organizations,with a 5%margin of error.However,when examining certain demographic subgroups,the sample sizes become too small to be considered statistically representative.Consequently,this report provides the sample size for results discussed so that the reader can discern whether to use and rely on the statistic presented.241Women146Men10Undisclosed/Other231Over 40163Under 40These limitations introduce sampling error bias into the results,especially if applied to the general global population.Despite these limitations,the findings can help start a conversation about the challenges faced and can contribute to the development of solutions for the population this group of respondents represents.The

better health and economic outcomes becomes a social and economic imperative.Until recently,life expectancy had been rising consistently for decades(aside from a partial pandemic setback for some cohorts).Globally,life expectancy increased by more than six years between 2000 and 2019,from 66.8 years in 2000 to 73.4 years in 2019.1 Significantly,the most rapid increases in the 65-and-older population are occurring in developing countries,which will see a jump of 140%by 2030,as compared to an increase of 51%in more developed countries.2Although there has been some decline in life expectancy globally in various cohorts,more people are expected to live to a greater age compared to 20 years ago.3While the 100-year life is now within reach for an unprecedented number of people worldwide,many people do not know how to plan and prepare for a healthy,sustainable and financially resilient later life.Over the past three years,the World Economic Forum and Mercer have been collaborating to advance leadership in the work,retirement and pension systems.In order to succeed and thrive in a 100-year life,individuals need more than financial literacy they need longevity literacy.Longevity literacy empowers individuals to live a healthy and sustainable life built on three pillars:quality of life,purpose and financial resilience.The Forum has convened a group of leading voices from the public,private and non-profit sectors focused on formulating solutions and strategies to address the challenges and opportunities of a transforming global demographic.The initial phase focused on the role of the private sector in supporting workers to achieve a more holistic approach to retirement.New solutions were tested and offered to address the changing nature of work and retirement,including phased retirement programmes,cross-generational mentorship and more flexible working options.The current phase of the initiative,and the focus of this report,shifted to raising awareness among individuals on how to be better prepared financially for a longer life.However,the working group quickly came to understand that the focus needed to be on more than just financial literacy.In order to become financially resilient,people also needed to prepare for a sustainable and healthy longer life.To learn how much people understand todays changing demographics and retirement needs,the World Economic Forum and Mercer ran a Longevity Literacy Pulse Poll in the autumn of 2022.This report includes fascinating findings,along with new insights into what people fear and are most excited about when it comes to getting older as it relates to their life,work and finances.The conclusion includes recommendations for three critical stakeholders government,the private sector and individuals to consider as part of a broader response to plan realistically,think creatively and act with greater urgency in terms of our changing demographics.Most importantly,the report includes actionable strategies that anyone can employ to have a sustainable and resilient life by focusing on the three pillars of longevity literacy:quality of life,purpose and financial resilience.Living Longer,Better:Understanding Longevity Literacy7ContentsDefining longevity literacySelect the layers to discover moreLongevity literacy empowers individuals to live a healthy and
