Aging and Pensions: Can the world avoid a retirement crisis?

As populations age and birth rates fall, the so-called silver economy is becoming one of the biggest forces shaping our future.

On The Agenda, Juliet Mann asks whether longer lives will bankrupt the global economy or spark a new era of growth. From Europe's pension protests to China's booming elder-care market, retirement no longer looks the way it used to and governments are scrambling to adapt.

Joining Juliet Mann to discuss the opportunities and risks are Du Peng, Dean of the School of Population and Health at Renmin University, Nicholas Barr, Professor of Public Economics at the London School of Economics, and Haleh Nazeri, Longevity Economy Lead at the World Economic Forum.
