Longevity is reshaping financial planning
Join us as we explore how the longevity megatrend is shaping lives – bringing both challenges and opportunities.
Building longevity-ready workplaces
The second report in our Life100+ programme explores the impact of longevity on the structure of working life. The implications are clear: the traditional structure of life and work is shifting, requiring us to adapt beyond the accepted model of learn, work and retire, towards something more agile.
We are all, on average, living longer. By 2030, more than half of the UK workforce will be aged 50 or older, contributing an estimated £730 billion to the economy.1 Our research reveals that almost four-fifths of UK adults believe people will need to work longer to support themselves in later life, and four in 10 agree it will be likely that they would need to rethink their retirement plans by retraining or pursuing multiple careers, should living longer become the norm.
At Canada Life, we see first-hand how work shapes people’s lives – financially, socially, and emotionally. The insights uncovered in our latest CPD-accredited report show how advisers can help clients thrive financially, emotionally, and professionally across longer, more complex working lives.

The four pillars of longevity-ready workplaces
Our research reveals that multigenerational workplaces will need to be built on four key pillars. Combined, these pillars point to a new work-life pathway which has fundamental consequences for how we plan for later life, better ensuring that we’ll be equipped from a health, wealth and skills perspective.
Explore how these four pillars have a marked impact on our views of retirement and the structure of our working lives.
With the potential for people to stay in work longer and have more complex financial needs across their lives, the role of advice will become more important than ever before.
