Longevity Economy Principles: The Foundation for a Financially Resilient Future
Facing a demographic imbalance of fewer young workers and longer-living employees, this Mercer report proposes building a "multigenerational workforce" through formal and informal mentorship programs. This intergenerational collaboration would address skill gaps, improve employee engagement, and combat ageism, particularly crucial for sectors like finance where high turnover is a challenge. The report argues that mentorship fosters a "private learning space" for experienced leaders while stimulating and retaining younger talents, creating a resilient and diverse workforce for the future.
