The Longevity Preparedness Index: Are We Ready for the 100-Year Life?

The longevity economy isn't just about anti-aging supplements and biohacking retreats, it's a $8.3 trillion economic force that's reshaping everything from workforce planning to healthcare infrastructure. The newly released Longevity Preparedness Index (LPI) is revealing exactly how unprepared we are for what's coming. Developed through a groundbreaking collaboration between John Hancock and the MIT AgeLab, the LPI is the first comprehensive measure to assess how well Americans are prepared for longer, healthier lives across eight critical dimensions: finance, social connection, daily activities, care, home, community, health, and life transitions. While everyone's focused on whether we can extend human lifespan, the more pressing question is whether our economic systems, social structures, and institutions can handle a world where living to 100 becomes the norm rather than the exception. Are we building a longevity economy that works for all people globally?
