Future of Aging and Longevity | Milken Institute

The Future of Aging and Longevity advances healthy longevity and financial security for all through research, convening, multisector partnerships, and the elevation of high-impact policies and practices.

Longer lives are one of society’s greatest achievements, but they bring new responsibilities to help people prepare for extended lifespans.

Milken Institute calls for greater investment in dementia research and development to help boost global healthspan and longevity.

Leaders from Bank of America, the Milken Institute, and Hanover Insurance, discussed extended leave, flexible workdays, and employee resource groups.

A new report, “America’s Unseen Workforce: The State of Family Caregiving,” identifies a looming caregiving crisis in the United States.

The Milken Institute's Diane Ty highlights the widening gap between lifespan and healthspan, the need for policy and innovation to address the caregiving crisis, and the shift in cultural views on aging as a way to tap into the power of intergenerational mentorship.

The Milken Institute Future of Aging and Longevity advances healthy aging, longevity, and financial well-being across the life course. Through research, convenings, and multisector partnerships, the initiative promotes policies and practices that help individuals and societies prepare for longer, healthier lives.

The name change reflects an expanded focus on the opportunities and challenges of longer lives. It recognizes that healthy longevity and financial security are shaped throughout life, not just in older adulthood, and emphasizes the importance of innovation across health care, financial services, workplaces, and communities.

The initiative focuses on five interconnected practice areas: brain health , caregiving , financial longevity , healthspan , and home and community . Its work advances research, policies, and partnerships that support healthy aging, financial security, and quality of life across generations.

Lifespan refers to the total number of years a person lives, while healthspan is the period of life spent in good health. Longevity refers to living a long life. The Future of Aging and Longevity works to help people live not only longer but healthier, more financially secure, and fulfilling lives.

These efforts bring together leaders from health care, finance, philanthropy, government, and other sectors to advance solutions for an aging society.
