Exploring fashion, entertainment, technology, health, values, attitudes and more, let’s look at what can be expected from future over 60s.

1. What can we expect from
the future generation of
over 60s?

2. What will a future over 60
look like?
The future is uncertain but by looking at how
the generations differ in the present, we can
get an idea of what over 60s might look like in
30 - 40 years’ time. From the way they travel
and how they consume entertainment, to their
health and the values they hold dear, it’s quite
clear that when the current generation of
young adults grow up, they will behave and live
rather differently than today’s older people.
Let’s have a look at what a future over 60
might look like.

3. Fashion

4. • Currently, the world sees trends and style
re-emerge from history. As people grow
older, they then look towards the trends
they loved when they were younger. In
2050 will everyone be trying to dress like
the 2020s again?
• The smart mirror market is projected to
reach $4 billion by 2025. This emerging
technology is bound to play a role in the
future of fashion. Culture could see smart
mirrors utilised as a sales tool as well as in
homes.

5. Technology

6. • Experts predict that by 2030 there will be
27 million driverless cars in Europe alone.
This will mean that suddenly ageing
factors like poor eyesight and slower
reaction time will be an issue when it
comes to driving.
• Wearable technology will not only open
doors to future over 60s, but will go a long
way to offering life saving diagnosis’ and
alerts. There are already examples of the
medical indicators on these devices saving
lives.

7. Entertainment

8. • Evidence can already be seen that social
media is affecting loneliness positively,
and when digital natives reach older age,
the hope is that it will help alleviate it all
together.
• With more people than ever looking for
their entertainment online, it’s likely there
will continue to be a large shift in how
people consume entertainment, and what
they deem truly entertaining.

9. Health

10. • When considering the exercise equipment
people might have at their disposal in the
future, the possibilities really are endless,
with anti-gravity chambers and specially
designed exercise suits being a possibility.
• In the future, the hope is that the world
becomes more accessible for those with
mobility issues, and that mobility aids will
start to exist more readily outside of the
home.

11. Values and Attitudes

12. • It can currently be seen that millennials
are thought to be the most eco-conscious
generation so far, with high-rises in
reusable product popularity and
veganism, which is likely to only continue
in future years.
• Housing is something that many young
people struggle with, and instead of
forgoing purchasing altogether, it’s likely
that people will simply delay milestones
like this in their life until they are
financially able to undertake them safely.
