Welcome to the August edition of Ipsos Update.
The world is ageing. By 2030, one in six people will be aged 60 or over. But are our cultural attitudes adapting to this change? This month’s edition of Ipsos Update features two articles on ageing. First, we present the findings from our latest Global Advisor study, which examines how attitudes towards ageing have (and have not) changed since 2018. Next, we shine the spotlight on India, where the spending power of older people is expected to surge by 2030.
We also share our latest insights on America, including the latest edition of What the Future, which explores the meaning of the “American Dream” today and how it might change in the future.
