Annotation	Global ageing is seen as a trend with significant economic implications. Higher costs for social services, pensions and health care, as well as possible labour shortages and other changes resulting from an older workforce are seen likely outcomes of this trend. AARP's objective in conducting this research is to understand the expected impact of global ageing on the economies of the G7 countries (US, Canada, Japan, Germany, Italy, France and the UK), and how a total of 158 opinion leaders see their countries handling and preparing for global ageing. The research was conducted in conjunction with AARP's Reinventing Retirement Conference held in London in November 2004. This report presents findings on: the importance and impact of ageing; preparation for an older workforce; preferred provider of retirement income; quality of life and retirement benefits; changes to public pension systems; and changes to employer-based pension systems.
