One month ago the ONS estimated a 0.4 per cent contraction in April, notably worse than economists had been expecting. Such monthly figures can be erratic and prone to significant revisions, yet bearish signs are increasingly commonplace. The latest private sector business surveys point to a decline in quarter two, with economists in both Westminster and the City forecasting a negative reading.

  • The Future of Ageing 2018 What Happens Next Further Sponsorship Has Been Received From: the Future of Ageing 2018 What Happens Next
    The Future of Ageing 2018 What happens next Further sponsorship has been received from: The Future of Ageing 2018 What happens next Thursday 29 November 2018 8.30am to 5.30pm Copthorne Tara Hotel Scarsdale Place Kensington London W8 5SY #futureofageing Welcome Welcome to the International Longevity Centre UK’s fourth Future of Ageing Conference. I would like to say that we have come a long way since we started running these events. But sadly… Across the world, more and more of us are living longer, yet governments are struggling to adapt to the dramatic changes we are witnessing. Economic productivity continues to be hit by a failure to adapt to increased longevity. Older consumers are underspending and the talents of too many older workers are being wasted. Too many businesses are failing to benefit from the longevity dividend. Our culture and society are being transformed by our changing demographic makeup and tensions between younger and older people are contributing to intergenerational frictions, which is likely to be exacerbated if we ignore it. Our infrastructure isn’t fit for today’s young people or tomorrow’s older people. The sustainability of our health and care system is at risk and we need to better prevent ill health in later life. Without radical action, future generations of older people will be poorer than they are today. The Future of Ageing Conference isn’t here to tell you what you know. But rather, to help you understand what happens next. I would welcome the opportunity to hear from you how we can work together to tackle the challenges we face now and in the immediate future.
