CEO Address: Aging, Purpose, and the Silver Economy
Jeff Huber, CEO, Home Instead Senior Care
Interviewed by Surya Kolluri, Managing Director, Thought Leadership, Retirement & Personal Wealth Solutions, Bank of America
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed approaches to healthcare, altered our concept of the essential workforce, and called out injustices toward older people. The pandemic has made us all more sympathetic to the needs of others and reminds us that we have been missing the opportunities to prepare for our growing Silver Economy. So, as we move forward to address the challenges of aging, how do we as a society and as individuals do so with a sense of passion and purpose?

What are the systemic and structural changes required to retire the traditional concept of retirement and ensure health, productivity, prosperity, and happiness for us all in our later years? What roles must institutions of society, including employers, play in ensuring success in the Decade of Healthy Ageing?
