Children born today in the West have more than a 50% chance of reaching the age of 105. Life expectancy is increasing everywhere, and this entails rapid changes in our lives and in the way societies, economies, and businesses operate.

What should we do?

"The 100-Year Life" explains how the three-phase life model (education, career, retirement) is coming to an end. Its replacement by a more flexible and enriched life will be inevitable.

How many years will we need to work? What kinds of professions should we prefer? How will we retrain during our careers? When will we be able to retire - and how should we prepare for it? And how different are the answers to these questions for citizens who are currently 18, 45, or 60 years old?

Through detailed examples, the authors present all possible scenarios for the future. They thus offer a valuable tool for businesses, governments, and any citizen who wants to ensure that the longer life they and their family are likely to enjoy in the future will prove to be a blessing and not a curse.
