Ireland Program has worked with local governments to ensure their communities meet the needs of all ages from the oldest to the youngest. Hosted and run by Meath County Council, the program was developed initially with philanthropic funding, with local governments taking the lead in developing multi-agency alliance structures in each municipal area.1 Today all 31 local authorities in Ireland lead age-friendly programs, making Ireland the first country in the world that has achieved full, country-wide membership in the World Health Organization’s Global Network of Age Friendly Cities and Communities. This commitment by all local authorities was critical to mainstreaming the program as a local government shared service in 2018. This service is now anchored in four government departments, in addition to the policing service, the Health Service Executive, and the business community via Chamber of Commerce Ireland. The national government buy-in is cited as a critical success factor, supporting cross-departmental work to advance the age-friendly community agenda. Local Age Friendly Alliance structures are the key delivery mechanism for initiatives to prepare for population aging, with their strength deriving from their inherent multi-sector nature. These alliances comprise senior representatives from the main public-sector agencies in each county and city, the business community, universities, transport companies and elected representatives, working together with representatives of Older People’s Councils. This proven multisectoral partnership is highly effective and the program has gained significant traction in recent years, particularly in the development of Age Friendly Housing and the Public Realm, Age Friendly Towns, and integrated service delivery between local governments and health services.

Mexico is already at an advanced stage in its demographic transition, driven by lower fertility rates coupled with lower mortality rates resulting in longer average lifespans.1 A key feature of demographic trends in Mexico is the rapid rate at which the older population is growing. According to data from the United Nations, in 2020, the population age 60 years or older reached 14.5 million, representing 11 percent of the total population. Women make up 55 percent of this group and men 45 percent. Furthermore, it is expected that in 2050, one out of four people in Mexico will be 60 and older (about 40 million people).2 Turning Challenges into Opportunities: Accelerated Aging in Mexico

over the past 100 years, but increasing inequality means the benefits of longevity aren’t spread evenly. Only the richest are living their additional 30 years of life to the fullest, while for too many, chronic disease and frailty impact their quality of life. Spreading the benefits of healthy long lives to everyone, not just the lucky few is a defining mission of our time. Three megatrends are shaping innovation in aging and longevity globally that will determine the success or failure of this mission: datafication of the individual; the home as the innovation battleground; and the return of social infrastructure. This article provides context for each as well as examples from around the world based on recent work by innovation consulting company Fordcastle and the Aging2.0 corporate innovation platform, The Collective.
