  • What is a silver dividend?

The "silver dividend" refers to the potential economic benefits that can come from an aging population, particularly as people live longer and healthier lives. Instead of seeing older people only as a cost or burden, the idea is that if they stay active, keep working longer, volunteer, or support their families and communities, they can continue contributing to society.
