A positive aspect of ageing has been studied and demonstrated for years. We already know ways of influencing our ageing process in order to enjoy greater well-being. However, it is very common to find negative and stereotyped images of ageing that condition the image we have of this vital stage and of our own vital process.

Dialogues on the Future of Ageing

  Date:
 Type: Conference
 Line of Knowledge: 
 Location: Santiago de Compostela

Spain has managed to achieve one of the greatest aspirations of any country: to increase the life expectancy of its citizens to levels unprecedented in history. This has brought with it a strong ageing of our demographic pyramid, which is expected to worsen over the coming decades. The fact that the Spanish population is living longer is an enormous source of opportunities, but also a challenge for our Welfare State. What will our pensions be like in 2050? What can we do to retain the older population who want to continue working? How can we promote active ageing?
