The World Demographic & Ageing Forum - based in St Gallen, Switzerland, and founded in 2003 - is a leading multistakeholder platform on demographic change, population dynamics and ageing. It focuses on linking life expectancy, fertility and migration with five areas in business and society that urgently need action: work life models; retirement schemes; financial markets; health and productivity; competitive advantage. Its mission is to contribute to the on-going public policy dialogue on global demographic change.
