The Economic Development Board is leading the State’s activation in understanding how South Australia could assist to shift society’s mindset, from ageing being considered a social and economic burden to that of a social and economic opportunity. They will do this through realising the untapped asset of people aged 60 years plus, focusing on productivity and not dependency. The program of work that has culminated in this report signals an important step in the State’s development and leadership to understand and respond to the changing wants and needs of citizens as they age well. Reflecting on this report, it offers ideas, and most importantly, serves as knowledge to prompt South Australians to actively engage in global opportunities the Ageing Well sector offers.
