Episode 2 or Retirement in America features a conversation with renowned aging expert Ken Dychtwald, founder and chief executive officer of Age Wave, on how increasing longevity is transforming retirement, work, healthcare, and financial security.
Widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading experts on aging and longevity, Dychtwald discusses how rising life expectancy and demographic change are creating what he calls a “longevity revolution” — one of the most significant societal transformations of our time.
““Americans are living longer lives, but our retirement systems and expectations have not fully adapted to that reality,” Doonan said. “Ken has spent decades studying the intersection of aging, work, and retirement, and this conversation offers valuable insights into what longer lives mean for individuals, employers, and policymakers.””
Hosted by NIRS Executive Director Dan Doonan, the Retirement in America podcast features conversations with policymakers, economists, retirement experts, journalists, advocates, and everyday Americans navigating retirement decisions. Episodes will examine the economic, workforce, and policy trends influencing retirement security — from Social Security and pensions to 401(k)s, savings challenges, and the changing nature of work.
