Age-friendly cities

We ask people in the street what they think makes a city age-friendly.

As the UN theme this year is the Journey to Age Equality, we took to the streets of Amsterdam to hear from a wide range of people about their ideas of how we can develop cities that provide infrastructure to all ages.

We also highlighted key findsinf of research conducted by our Aegon Center for Longevity & Retirement, which captures statistics on retirement readiness in 15 countries.

Need for a New Social Contract

Our latest retirement readiness report The New Social Contract: Empowering individuals in a transitioning world is based on the eighth annual Aegon Retirement Readiness survey of 14,400 workers and 1,600 retired people across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia.

The report focuses on the need for collective action by individuals, governments and employers to forge a new social contract for retirement. Globally, increasing longevity has gifted humanity with an extended period of life, which presents people with the opportunity to redefine their working years and time spent in retirement.

Reimagining retirement

'As people are living longer than they have in the past, we need to reimagine what retirement means,' says Mike Mansfield, Program Director at Aegon Center for Longevity and Retirement. 'Our planning must address both our finances and our health so that we can fully enjoy the retirement for which we have worked so hard.'
