Education, in turn, leads to greater health and longevity.
Some evidence indicates that longer lives are happier lives: one study found that as longevity improved in the United States, increases in the number of years of happy life lived outweighed increases in the years of unhappy life.1
2. (...) NCDs account for more than 8 years of the longevity gap in Middle Africa, Western Africa and developing Oceania. (...) HIV/AIDS
Excess mortality due to HIV/AIDS was the leading cause of the longevity gaps in both South- ern Africa and Eastern Africa.

Given malleability of age need focus on real measures e.g biological
Focusing only on chronological age means completely miss the longevity dividend
Means focus only on demographics and not posit ive adjustments

All Countries are Ageing
If longevity effect is greater than the ageing society effect then countries are getting younger
Ageing society effect raises average mortality rate, longevity effect lowers mortality rate
Balance of the two forces differs across countries depending on the rapidity of the demographic transition
Countries like Japan and China have to invest very heavily in the longevity effect

All of Life Not Just End of Life
Longevity is about a new map of life –new stages and new behaviours
New career paths, new education patterns and new work/life balance
Young vs Old
The young are the future old. (...) Crucial for fast growing emerging markets
Countries with young populations as well as those with old are both wrestling with longevity issues

The model predicts that fertility and education depend on adult longevity, child mortality
and the level of technology. (...) The effect of adult longevity on gross and net fertility is, in general, ambiguous. (...) Ricci and Zachariadis (2007) report additional evidence for the importance of
an externality of education on longevity in that a country’s tertiary education attainment rate
affects individual longevity beyond individual education.

Briefing Paper: Growing Need for Long-Term Care: Assumptions and Realities
Briefing Paper: Growing Need for Long-Term Care: Assumptions and Realities
12 September 2016
With increasing age and longevity, the risk of chronic disease rises along with that of age-related disabilities from chronic diseases such as pulmonary disease and diabetes to age-related loss of hearing, sight and movement (arthritis), cognitive illnesses such as dementia and Alzheimer’s to injuries from falls. The incidence rate of disability from each of these varies considerably by country based on longevity and access to appropriate healthcare and rehabilitation services.
As the number of older persons continues to grow along with their longevity, the need for long-term care will increase significantly for those aged 80 and over, and in particular for older women who live longer.

It had been pro-
posed that longevity increments should be extended
to other levels and even that they should apply to all
grades. (...) No such clear case could be made out, however,
for longevity increments at the P-4 level, as proposed
by the Advisory Committee. (...) In the light of those considerations, a longevity
increment at the P-3 level would be less justified than
at the P-4 level.

Secretary-General Urges Regional Ministerial Conference on Ageing to Address Challenges of Longevity, Unleash Its Potential
Following is the text of UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ video message to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Ministerial Conference on Ageing, in Lisbon on 22 September:
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today, human beings live longer than ever. (...) Address the challenges of longevity — and unleash its potential. Life-long learning, health and intergenerational support are crucial.

CRAKER (Egypt) believed that longevity incre-
ments granted at two-year intervals should be applied
to the P-3 level only. (...) Within the
limited context of longevity increments and for the
purpose of alleviating blocked promotion opportunities,
it urged that longevity increments should be applied
to all levels up to and including P- 5. (...) It was by no
means certain that the application of longevity incre-
ments was the correct solution to the latter problem.
