Prospective Longevity

Discover a revolutionary perspective on aging with Prospective Longevity by Warren C. Sanderson, published by Harvard University Press in 2019. In this insightful book, Sanderson and co-author Sergei Scherbov introduce a groundbreaking approach to measuring individual and population aging. Rather than simply counting the years we have lived, they propose focusing on our “prospective age”—the anticipated years left to live. This innovative model not only enhances demographic estimates but also empowers policymakers to make informed decisions that can positively impact society. With a comprehensive 272 pages of research and analysis, Prospective Longevity is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of demographics and aging. Dive into this thought-provoking work and gain a deeper understanding of how we can reshape our views on longevity.
