Across the world, people are living longer than ever before. It’s one of humanity’s greatest achievements.
But it also raises one of the most important questions of our time.
Who will look after us?
In this episode of The Third Act, I explore the realities of ageing in the twenty-first century. From changing families and loneliness to artificial intelligence, community and the future of care, this isn’t a conversation about one country—it’s a conversation about all of us.
As populations age across the world, perhaps the answer isn’t simply governments or technology.
Perhaps it begins with the kind of communities we choose to build today.
Whether you’re already retired, planning for the future, or caring for ageing parents, this episode invites you to stop and think about what growing older could—and should—look like.
In this episode:
Why longer lives are changing society
The hidden impact of loneliness
Can AI and technology really help?
Why community may matter more than ever
What every country can learn from one another
🌍 I’d love to hear from you.
How is your country preparing for an ageing population?
What is it getting right?
What still concerns you?
