When older Aucklanders retire in a strong position and have good health care and support, the benefits ripple far beyond the individual.
Families are less stretched, whānau relationships are stronger, and younger people often get more time, stability, and opportunity. In other
words: investing in older people is a smart economic investment in the whole of society.
With Auckland's 65+ population projected to almost double between 2018 and 2038, early action prevents crisis-level costs and builds a more
resilient city for all generations. Below are five evidence-based ways older people's wellbeing boosts outcomes for tamariki, rangatahi, and
working-age adults — plus practical actions we can take as a city.

Concern Auckland, we know that understanding the basics can make a huge difference for older people, their whānau, and the wider community.

more confident about their financial future.

income, supporting whānau, or planning for the years ahead, small money moves can make a big difference.
