The Silver Economy: Designing Solutions for Longer Lives
Chapter Navigation
The fastest-growing customer segment in the insurance industry is no longer the traditional core market - it’s the "Silver Economy". Customers aged 65+ are becoming the largest and wealthiest segment across many European markets. The growing silver economy is reshaping the future of insurance and retirement.
