MIT AgeLab – Longevity Preparedness Index

One of the sites I check periodically is MIT AgeLab – they published something last week about their new Longevity Preparedness Index (in partnership with John Hancock and published here this week).

They identify “eight domains of life”: Care, Community, Daily Activities, Finance, Health, Home, Life transitions, Social connection. Finance is certainly the main topic here but discussions have touched on several of the other domains.

The 16 page “Insights” wasn’t particularly new to me, but I appreciated some of the statistics and callouts. I most appreciated the 8 domains taxonomy to encourage me to keep the wider perspective in mind.
