How we can maintain financial security as we get older.
As life expectancies go up, we need to think about how to fund our longer lives. The idea of retiring at the age of 65 and living off a pension isn’t realistic anymore. In this episode of The Future Age, host Zannat Reza looks into how we can maintain financial security as we get older.
Dr. Theo Kocken is a Professor of Pension and Risk Management at Vrije University Amsterdam and the director of the documentary “Your 100 Year Life.” He talks to Zannat about the different approaches societies around the world are taking to reduce old age poverty, and which ones are working best. Then, Scotiabank economist Rebekah Young talks about how Canadians as well our government can make changes to ensure better economic resilience for older adults.
