In our fast-evolving world, the idea of living a 100-year life is becoming more significant. As we face longer lifespans, the importance of ongoing adaptation and learning is greater than ever. Andrew Scott, an economist, professor at London Business School, and bestselling author of works like The 100 Year Life and his insightful new book The Longevity Imperative, stands out as a leading thinker in the longevity field.
Professor Scott’s research focuses on longevity and an ageing society and has been widely published in leading journals in economics and health. His work is extensively and regularly covered across a range of global media and his writing, research and teaching have received multiple awards. Professor Scott has advised through a variety of roles a range of governments, institutions and companies.
His global bestseller, The 100-Year Life, has been published in 15 languages and was runner-up in both the FT/McKinsey and Japanese Business Book of the Year Awards and his most recent book The Longevity Imperative, was published in March 2024. The Longevity Imperative outlines the innovations needed to make the most of these longer lives: substantial changes to our health system, economy, and financial sector, as well as in how we manage our careers, health, finances, and relationships. It demands we move away from the negativity of an ageing society and elevate a longevity society, alongside climate change and AI, as a key factor determining our individual and collective future.
Professor Scott holds a PhD from Oxford University and previously held positions at Oxford University, Harvard University, and the London School of Economics
