Summary/Abstract: For more than 15 years, I have been working with different organizations to help them develop their purpose and business based on the positive and negative implications of increased lifespan, which I call the longevity dividend. From what I see worldwide, as the result of a global network of contacts, I understand very clearly the implications of people’s increasing lifespans. I understand that it is essential for countries to have a strategy that goes far beyond the social inclusion of older people and that has a strong economic component and global competitiveness. In this article, written based on my professional experience, I intend to reflect on these implications to promote a broader, practical, and strategic view on the themes of longevity and aging as a way of guaranteeing, as far as possible, social sustainability, and the economic development of countries.
