About the series
Japan and South Korea are already among the fastest-ageing countries in the world. Despite abandoning its one-child policy, China is on a similar demographic trajectory, which will reduce its working population and threaten economic growth.
Demographic trends in these countries create complex and interdependent challenges: They require rethinking of how we approach careers, training and education for much longer working lives; of how we structure and run public and private insurance and pension schemes; and of how we care for an increasingly old and sick population.
In a four-part virtual series, Swiss Re Institute and Asia Society Switzerland explored the effects of ageing on Asia and the world and asked what we can do to address them.
