The LIVeD Lens: Thriving in a 100-Year Life
Here’s the good news, we’re living longer than ever. Around the world, more people are
Livedlabs is a longevity research, advisory and platform practice helping individuals and institutions navigate the financial, professional, and personal realities of an extended life.
"Livedlabs was founded on a simple belief: that in a 100-year life, success is no longer about accumulating wealth or titles, but about sustaining relevance, resilience, and agency across time."
According to projections from the World Health Organization, the number of older adults (aged 60 and above) in Southeast Asia is expected to increase from 77.4 million in 2020 to 173.3 million by 2050.
Most financial and retirement systems assume a 35-year working life followed by a short retirement.
Singapore’s re-employment age is 68, rising to 70 by 2030. That’s progress. But it still leaves a significant gap between when support ends and how long you may actually live.
But you may well live to 100. That leaves 30+ years of life that the system was never designed to support.
An integrated life-course model that bridges individual financial resilience and institutional readiness, grounded in research, practice, and policy engagement.
