As finance ministers and central bank governors met in Bangkok for the IMF-World Bank meetings, the week’s agenda rightly focused on growth, financial stability, and the global economy.

Part of that agenda was how demography would impact the world’s economy. ILC headed to Bangkok to host a series of events to ensure long lives could drive an economic opportunity rather than a fiscal burden.

IFPMA supported ILC in developing the Longevity Dividend Modelling Framework (LDMF), an initiative designed to explore the potential fiscal and economic impacts of demographic change and healthy ageing.

ILC convened discussions to review and test the framework’s preliminary assumptions, methodology and outputs with a small group of technical experts and policy specialists. It provided an opportunity to gather perspectives on the framework’s relevance, usability and potential applications in assessing the economic value of healthy ageing, prevention, workforce participation and sustainable economic growth.

ILC hosted a high-level roundtable on 15 October and an informal dinner on 14 October. For those unable to join in Bangkok, an online webinar was organised to present the early findings from the LDMF.

Places were limited and by invitation only. Those interested in attending the roundtable, dinner or webinar were invited to register their interest by emailing events@ilcuk.org.uk.

Information about the LDMF initiative can be found here.
