In this webinar, we will be using the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index to explore what health and wellbeing looks like in different European countries.
Healthy ageing in Israel and the UK: What can we learn from each other?ILC- UK
Israel and the UK enjoy the services of well-organized, (largely) not-for-profit, national systems of healthcare delivering high-quality care to all age groups. This event – jointly run by ILC-Israel, the Center for Multidisciplinary Research in Aging at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and ILC-UK – explores the state of healthy ageing in both countries and what the UK and Israel can learn from each other.

The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.

Global ageing is calling into question the differences between developed and developing countries.
Developing countries are seeing a growth of non-communicable diseases usually associated with affluence in wealthier countries: obesity; diabetes; cancer; heart disease; dementia; among others.
Urbanisation is posing significant challenges and opportunities, but countries like China are also seeing vast areas of rural hinterland with an increasingly ageing population.
At the same time, a complex picture of wealth and financial satisfaction is emerging across the world. The global economy is more heavily interlinked than ever before with the future economic success of the UK and wealthier countries likely to rely on the success of development in lower and middle income countries. There is a very positive story to tell about wellbeing in developing countries which is rarely heard.
Across the world, transitions are varying in pace, but a common factor facing most parts is ageing.
Focussing on ageing makes good development sense, a fact that policymakers are increasingly recognising. There has been growing interest from academics and policy makers in exploring how to best compare the impact of ageing in a global context.
HelpAge International's Global AgeWatch Index ranks countries by how well their ageing populations are faring.
The EC and UN supported Active Ageing Index (AAI) is an analytical tool that aims to help policy makers produce policies for active and healthy ageing.
The Global Aging Preparedness Index (GAP) was developed by the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ with financial support from Prudential plc. The GAP Index seeks to inform the policy debate about global aging and focus attention on the need for constructive reform.
Following introductory remarks from Chris Roles of Age International, Jessica Watson of ILC-UK presented new work using a major international dataset – the World Values Survey – about levels of self-reported financial satisfaction. Analysing data from 56 countries over six continents, these findings throw new light on levels of financial satisfaction within and between countries. This analysis has been made possible by the ESRC SDAI initiative
The OECD is examining how the two global mega-trends of population ageing and rising inequalities have been developing and interacting, both within and across generations. This work, and specifically a new report “Preventing Ageing Unequally” (to be released on 18 October), will take a life-course perspective, showing how inequalities in education, health, employment and income interact, and can result in large lifetime disparities across different groups. This discussion will focus on a policy agenda for more inclusive ageing to prevent, mitigate and cope with inequalities and ensure a better retirement for all, with policies coordinated across family, education, employment, social ministries and agencies.

Module 1 The Seniors Food Market Opportunity.pptxcaniceconsulting
The Silver Economy still has many challenges to overcome today, to become a true driver of the economy, but the economy of the future will be led by older people. The Silver Economy is a major consumer of health services accounting for over 53% of all health expenditure across the EU. In terms of scale and therefore opportunity, food and beverage consumption is the second-largest product group and is consumed disproportionately more by the Silver Economy than by younger age groups.
Europe’s demographic future can be summarised in one colour: Silver.
We are becoming older with fewer births and longer life expectancy. However, older people are at risk of being food insecure with limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways
The food industry needs to respond; however, it is considered a sector with low research intensity. PIFS delivers on the Europe 2020 innovation strategy “with an ageing population and strong competitive pressures from globalisation, Europe’s future economic growth, and jobs will increasingly have to come from innovation in products, services & business models”.

'How can we support older workers?' an ILC-UK European policy debate, support...ILC- UK

Featuring Steve Webb MP (Minister for Pensions); Christopher Brooks (Age UK) and David Sinclair (ILC-UK), presenting findings from a new policy review of European innovations in supporting longer working lives. Chaired by Baroness Greengross, CEO, ILC-UK and cross-bench peer
Europe needs older workers. Its long-term ageing population and recent economic hardships are creating huge fiscal and demographic pressures - pressures which could be greatly relieved if it can encourage its workers to remain in work for longer.
How is this to be achieved?
The European Union recently launched its Europe 2020 strategy which set employment targets of 75% for workers aged 20-64. However, with the old-age dependency ratio for the EU28 predicted to climb over 50% by 2050, much more still needs to be done.
In this event we will hear UK and EU perspectives on how older workers can be supported, with contributions from Steve Webb MP, the UK Minister for Pensions; and Christopher Brooks (Age UK)
To inform this debate, ILC-UK launched a report at the event, supported by Prudential, which shares key policy approaches being taken across to support older workers.

This Robert Butler Memorial Lecture, held on Wednesday 29th October 2014, was part of the ILC Global Alliance visit to the UK.
Robert Butler, founder of ILC US, was a passionate believer in the importance of health and productive ageing and we were honoured that Dr Ros Altmann, government’s Business Champion for Older Workers agreed to give the Lecture.
You can’t always protect yourself and your loved ones from life’s uncertainties. Although we don’t like to think about it, we know that traumatic and tragic events may not always only happen to other people.
It is important to protect your home and car. And most people do. But it is also important to protect your life, your ability to earn an income, your health and your business interests.
Protecting loved ones from financial hardship should be an integral part of any financial plan. This guide explains why life insurance is so important for you and your family. It provides an overview of the different types of life insurance strategies available and case studies showing how they could protect you and your loved ones.
With the help of a Suncorp Financial Planner or Suncorp Authorised Representative, you can then develop a comprehensive risk management plan and decide how much is enough to keep you and your family’s lifestyle, dreams and future financially secure.
The Global AgeWatch Index measures how well 96 countries are supporting their older populations, in terms of health, income, employment and education and the enabling environment.

How stalling life expectancy is impacting the UK economyILCUK
Life expectancy for people aged over 50 has started to fall, new research from the International Longevity Centre – UK (ILC) reveals. The analysis finds that changes to the health and life expectancy of people over 50 will have a significant impact on the economy. The fall in healthy life expectancy will result in more people dropping out of work earlier than anticipated.
ILC, the leading authority on the impact of longevity on society, reveals reveal that:
• Life expectancy for fifty-year-olds is now 2.3 years less than it would have been had the long-established trend continued.
• Every year of lost life expectancy results in 2.6 years less spent in good health.
• A UK man dying at age 80 could expect to spend on average 64.5 years in good health, but if his life expectancy is only 78, he will spend less than 60 years in good health.
ILC point out that a fall in life expectancy is generally preceded by a period of ill health which can vary in length according to pre-existing health conditions, age and other factors.

in life span (life
expectancy) between
the best and worst
performing country.
This is the equivalent
of ranking 4th vs 57th
on the Index.
There is a 6-year gap in
health span (healthy life
expectancy) between the
best and worst
performing country.
This is the equivalent of
ranking 5th vs 53rd on
the Index.
There is a 7-year gap
in work span (working
life expectancy)
between the best and
worst performing
country. This is the
equivalent of ranking
39th vs 97th on the
Index.

40. Ageing Well, a growing concern and challenge for Baby Boomers who are
reaching 80, and a strong expectation for Generation X as they approach
retirement.
A common expectation among the over-50s in France, the UK and Germany,
with some common approaches between the three countries and some major
differences to be considered.
