The increase in longevity is a human triumph. For as long as we’ve been around, we’ve tried to avoid dying, and we’ve got better at doing so. The increase in life expectancy in the high-income countries around the world really began around 200 years ago. And, over the course of the past two centuries we’ve seen life expectancy in those countries increase by two to two-and-a-half years for every decade that’s passed. That is spectacular and it’s affecting almost everything in our lives, in our society, and the way we do business.
