In many parts of the world, a growing population of older adults is creating new opportunities for economic growth and innovation. By 2050, the number of adults over 65 will double to 1.6 billion - a demographic shift that is already reshaping economies, societies, and how we think about health. Our latest research from the @McKinsey Health Institute, released in collaboration with the @FII Institute, shows that investing in healthy longevity delivers powerful returns. For every dollar invested, societies can gain between 2.3x and 6x in economic value. These investments also strengthen health systems, extend workforce participation, and open new markets for innovation and inclusion. In short: prioritizing healthy longevity is an investment – not a cost. From Japan’s Silver Human Resource Centers, which connect older adults with flexible work, to Zimbabwe’s Friendship Bench, offering peer-led mental health support, examples worldwide show that when societies invest in longevity, they unlock both wellbeing and prosperity. The takeaway: investing in healthy longevity can drive both positive health outcomes and sustainable economic growth.

By 2050, the number of adults over 65 will double to 1.6 billion – reshaping economies, societies, and the future of work. Our latest research – released through a collaboration between the McKinsey Health Institute and the FII Institute – reveals that investing in healthy longevity delivers powerful returns - between 2.3x and 6x for every dollar spent. Beyond the numbers, these investments strengthen health systems, extend workforce participation, and unlock new markets for innovation and inclusion. Looking at initiatives from around the world - from Japan’s Silver Human Resource Centers, which connect older adults with flexible community work, to Zimbabwe’s Friendship Bench, which provides accessible, peer-led mental health support - global examples show that longevity-focused interventions can boost both wellbeing and prosperity. The message is clear: healthy longevity isn’t a cost. It’s a catalyst for sustainable growth. By aligning public, private, and social sector efforts, there is an opportunity to transform demographic change into shared opportunity for all generations.
