Issue Careers extending into the 70s and 80s while AI removes jobs

Summary

This issue examines the collision between much longer working lives and AI taking over traditional jobs. EY argues that if longevity treatments allow careers to run for many decades while automation removes conventional roles, societies will face complicated problems. These range from how people are paid to whether social security systems built for shorter working lives remain sustainable. Organizations will need to rethink career development for working lives that might stretch into people's 70s and 80s. That includes helping workers move across several technological eras during one career. It also means designing pay systems that reflect much higher productivity.
