Contemporary Issues Forum: Better Together: Rebuilding an Age-Integrated Society

We’re living in the most age-diverse time in human history, with equal numbers of people alive at every age, from birth to age 70 and beyond. Simultaneously, we’re the most age-segregated nation we’ve ever been — a dangerous experiment linked to a raft of problems, including generational conflict, rampant ageism, and an epidemic of loneliness and isolation. It’s time to turn the situation around and build the “future of together,” a multigenerational force for good anchored in the promise and potential of our country’s new age-diversity. But are we ready? Will we squander the moment — or even worse, allow it to sow more societal divisions? Join Eunice Lin Nichols, Co-CEO of CoGenerate, the nation’s leading nonprofit on bridging generational divides, to hear insights on how to harness age integration to solve problems no generation can solve alone. Together, we can co-create a more interdependent and joyful future that works for all of us.
