| Annotation | In 2007, the World Economic Forum launched a project, Financing Demographic Shifts 2030, the aim being to address the questions, "How may the future of pensions and healthcare look like in 2030, by taking the various key drivers and critical uncertainties into account? What may be the role of governments, the private sector and individuals?" This report provides an overview of the main challenges related to providing and financing pensions and healthcare of ageing societies. It presents three challenging scenarios for how the business environment around pensions and healthcare might look in the year 2030, considering factors such as attitudes towards retirement and health, global economic performance and investment returns, patterns of infectious and chronic diseases, innovation and the role of governments. The report provides a brief overview of the types of strategic options that may be available to stakeholders to overcome the challenges and grasp the opportunities presented by shifting demographics. Throughout the report, the examples of China and Italy offer contrasting case studies. (RH). |
