Privileged to speak at @OECD Forum on Social Policy. By 2050, the 50+ population will grow by 70% - a $188 trillion market. We need holistic solutions for demographic change. #SocialPolicyFrontiers

Many older adults go undiagnosed and untreated for mental health conditions. Let's change that. Check out my op-ed in @WellatFortune @FortuneMagazine for more insights. #MentalHealthAwareness #Aging

Great day with @seniorplanet and @AARPFL

[Senior Planet @seniorplanet]

The Senior Planet center in Miami received a special visit from @policydeb – @AARP Chief Public Policy Officer and author of “The Next 50” – as she discussed her book, which answers important questions about how to live well as we age. Thanks to @AARPFL for cohosting this event!

[AARP Policy @AARPpolicy]

In a @WSJOpinion op-ed (paywall), @AARP’s @PolicyDeb cites a key study on how positive beliefs about aging can extend the lifespan. “The advantage held even after controlling for age, gender, socioeconomic status, loneliness and health.” #Aging #Longevity https://t.co/rJzw9N2Iq1

[Deb Whitman @DrDebWhitman]

Cortney Sanders (@SocialSecurity) cites Debra Whitman (@policydeb) in her closing remarks: "Zip codes are more important than genetic codes in determining a person's health and welfare." And, Cortney adds that social insurance creates the outliers.

New report from @AARPpolicy out today!

[Jo Ann Jenkins @JoAnn_Jenkins]

America is aging at a rate never seen in history. In less than a decade, adults 65 and older will outnumber children under 18 for the first time.

Aging itself is not a challenge, but being unprepared for aging is. (1/3)

[AARP Policy @AARPpolicy]

More than 60% of victims 50+ were more likely to trust their financial institution based on how it previously handled #FinancialExploitation. Read more in @AARPpolicy’s recent report from @banksafegirl, the national director of @AARP's BankSafe Initiative. https://t.co/8slAJU7YYn

[Jo Ann Jenkins @JoAnn_Jenkins]

I am proud to share that @AARP has again been named a @WashingtonPost Top Workplace. We're committed to a culture where employees feel purpose in their jobs that impact millions of older adults, and supported with exceptional benefits. Learn more: https://t.co/cqmLktSiQt

As we mark the 80th anniversary of #DDAY and reflect on what our soldiers accomplished during that pivotal moment in history, it is a good time to recommit ourselves to providing support for our nation’s veterans and their families. #AARPsalutesVets https://t.co/0AcXwkQEPy

Take a look - @AARPpolicy Dir., Finance & Employment @LoriTrawinski, "Retirees from the US often bring w/ them money that can help support the local economy," as more Americans consider #retiring abroad amid increasing expenses with @foxcarolinanews. https://t.co/cdegDtvD51
