INNOVATIVE AND PIONEERING PRACTICES FOR SUPPORTING A HEALTHY AGEING
POPULATION WORLDWIDE. AGEING READINESS & COMPETITIVENESS (ARC) 3.0
As life expectancy is increasing around the world, the gap between lifespan and health span-the years a
person lives without disease-is also increasing. This widening gap is one of the most important trends of
our time, and policymakers worldwide are now being challenged to turn the tide on healthy ageing.
Examples of innovative and pioneering practices can be found in different communities, states, and
countries. But until now there was no effort to collect and share those actionable insights in one repository.
So Economist Impact and AARP teamed up to highlight a knowledge base of policy solutions in the
Ageing Readiness and Competitiveness (ARC) report 3.0.
ARC 3.0 is a rich resource, highlighting innovations from diverse geographic, economic, and social
contexts, emblematic of broader trends that promise a healthier and more equitable future for older
adults around the world. Economist Impact also conducted Return-on-Investment analysis of five of the
innovations in the report - click here to download.
The Irish Association of Social Workers' report - Addressing the psychosocial needs of older
adults during periods of crisis: Irish Association of Social Workers model of practice during
Covid-19 - was profiled as one of the international case studies.
