TRAJECTUM is convinced of the importance of the concept of Best Agers:
DEFINITION
The 55+ are, however, the growing part of the working-age population, and hence we cannot afford to disrespect their potential and their readiness to share their experience and skills. Instead, this hidden potential must be utilised.
The contribution of older people to the human capital stock must increase to make up for the shrinking number of young people. Innovation should not be equated with young age only.
Seen from this perspective, the 55+ remain of "best age" for economic activities for many more years, sometimes even well beyond retirement age.
