Instead of the usual doom and gloom stuff about the ageing population being a burden on society and requiring investment in the form of old folks homes, geriatric wards and research into Alzheimers, here is an article which outlines the positive contribution which the over 60s are making - not only now but increasingly in the future. For example..
One in three Japanese aged 60 or over is still part of the labor force.
By 2050, nearly a third of the developed world's labor force will be aged 50 or older
Britons over 50 years of age control 75% of the country's wealth
As the article states " with people living longer and continuing to contribute productively to society, we need to recalibrate just what we mean by old. "
