Longevity trends drive focus on healthy aging and corporate welfare in Italy

Discussions regarding the demographic shift toward increased longevity are taking place across both public health and corporate sectors in Italy.

In Teramo, the 'Stati generali sulla salute della terza età' convened to address strategies for healthy aging. The conference, promoted by Federazione Pensionati MCL and LILT Teramo, brought together medical, scientific, and institutional experts. Key topics included the role of epigenetics and daily prevention, the sustainability of the social security system, and the importance of physical activity, nutrition, and social participation in maintaining autonomy and quality of life for an aging population.

In the corporate sphere, longevity is being integrated into business welfare models. Zurich Italia has highlighted the importance of supporting all generations within the workforce to manage longer professional careers. The company emphasized creating environments that foster wellbeing and professional growth, noting that managing demographic changes offers opportunities to transform experience and knowledge into shared corporate value.
