AGING READINESS & COMPETITIVENESS INITIATIVE: MEDIA BRIEFING

On September 24, AARP and FP Analytics launched the Aging Readiness & Competitiveness (ARC) Research at the World Economic Forum Sustainable Development Impact Summit.

This ARC initiative examines 10 countries — Australia, Chile, Costa Rica, Lebanon, Mauritius, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, and Taiwan — that have proven to be more nimble and willing to innovate to adjust their economies and societies to find solutions for the realities of aging and the opportunities of longevity.

For more information on AARP’s international research, contact Aimee Carter, Vice President, AARP International.
