Living to Hundred : Are We Prepared?

As life expectancy continues to rise, it prompts us to rethink our policies, retirement systems, healthcare infrastructure, and societal readiness to support a population that may live well beyond 100.

Taking place on 17–18 June 2025 at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, the upcoming International Social Wellbeing Conference (ISWC) 2025 brings together global experts, policymakers, and thought leaders to explore the challenges and opportunities of the longevity economy — and how we can collectively shape a more secure and resilient future for our communities.

 Hear from Balqais Yusoff, Head of the Policy and Strategy Department at the EPF, as she shares insights on how ISWC 2025 is driving crucial conversations under the theme: “Living to a Hundred: Are We Prepared?”
