Quartz quoted Paul Irving, distinguished scholar in residence at the USC Leonard Davis School and chairman of the Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging, in an article about companies adapting to an older workforce. “Keeping older people working means they remain taxpayers. With their increased financial resources and confidence and ongoing engagement, they are likely to continue to consume,” Irving said. “The more people are actively engaged in the economy, the more likely the economy is to grow. That’s good for everyone.”
The Charleston City Paper quoted Kate Wilber on how to better target elder-abuse perpetrators, and the importance of monitoring mental health care of the elderly and their caregivers. “It is not uncommon for caregivers to lack the capacity and ability to support frail older people — sometimes we assume the kids are the caregivers when they have historically been receiving care from mom or dad because of their own disabilities,” she said.
MindBodyGreen referenced Valter Longo of the USC Leonard Davis School and the benefits of adopting a fasting-mimicking diet.
