Ashoka - New Longevity

For the first time in history, there are more people above 65 years old than there are below five. There isn’t an aspect of our lives and economies that isn’t affected by this Big Shift. How can we maintain purposeful, healthy lives as we age? How do we reverse age segregation and address the loneliness epidemic affecting all generations? How do we reinvent retirement and the value of care work? Our vision is to co-create a world where older people everywhere break out of self-defeating stereotypes to take on the new power of being changemakers and live a deeply satisfying life of purpose, health and happiness. Ashoka has been the world's largest network of social entrepreneurs for more than 40 years and is a global leader in social innovation. We envision a world where everyone is a changemaker -- a world where everyone embraces their potential and power, has the skills to solve problems, and activates others to lead and thrive. We work alongside citizen sector organizations, education institutions, corporations, media, and other influencers to co-lead this movement.
