Deep dives
Understanding the Silver Tsunami
The concept of the silver tsunami refers to the significant increase in life expectancy across generations, with people expected to live well into their later years compared to the past. In recent decades, average lifespans have increased by two to three years for every decade, fundamentally altering societal expectations surrounding aging. For instance, the most common age of death in the UK shifted from one year old in 1965 to 87 years today. This demographic shift poses implications for pensions, healthcare needs, and how younger generations will support an aging population.
