Does the thought of living to celebrate your 100th birthday fill
you with dread? Or can you see the potential for a more stimulating
future as a result of having so much extra
time?
In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, Martin speaks to
Professor Andrew Scott.
Andrew Scott is Professor of Economics at London Business
School.
He is also a Fellow of All Souls, Oxford University and Fellow of
the Centre for Economic Policy
Research.
He previously held lecturing positions at Harvard University,
London School of Economics and Oxford
University.
In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, we talk about Andrew’s
new book (written with co-author Lynda Gratton), which is called
The 100-Year Life: Living and working in an age of
longevity.
Andrew describes the inspiration for the book, what a 100 year life
might look like and how we will need to structure our longer lives
in new ways.
Welcome to The 100 Year Life with Professor Andrew Scott, in
episode 091 of Informed Choice
Radio.
Some questions we
ask
-What might the 100 year life look like? What good is a longer life
if much of it is spent living in poor
health?
-What is the alternative to living a three stage life consisting of
education, work and retirement?
-How can people overcome the dilemma of choosing a suitable
retirement age, to make sure they don’t outlive their
assets?
-How do we encourage people to make short-term sacrifices for
really long-term benefits?
