Support Links Worldwide FZE - Profile

Human Lifecycle Redefined The traditional model of our lifecycle demands that we spend 28% of our lifetime earning education, another 39% earning a livelihood, while the remaining 33% of our lifetime is spent as retired life with a progressively diminishing scale of revenue-generating activity. However, our survey on 1700 individuals from various walks of life and varying nationalities highlights that this life model from the post-World War II period is slowly turning into a dangerous path to tread. This is considering the study done by the United Nations which has revealed that the world is undergoing a significant demographic shift known as global aging, where the global elderly will soon outnumber the young blood in census, jeopardizing present government institutions of pension schemes andsenior citizen’sbenefits. As thenumber of elderly explodes, global aging will place an unprecedented economic burden on working-age people. Global aging is pushing the developed world—and perhaps even the entire world toward eventual population decline. Global aging will revolutionize the family by drastically narrowing and lengthening its shape. In this regard, Support Links Worldwide was compelled to redefine the traditional model of the segmented approach of life into a one that advocates lifelong learning and earning. Lifelong financial independence would ensure a security that is fast diminishing in the modern age of employee redundancy and pension schemes with dwindling benefits. Science also reinforces the fact that the degeneration of an individual’s mental and physical capacity is accelerated due to prolonged periods of underutilization. The concept of active retirement was also brought into the limelight in this regard.

The immense talent, expertise and knowledge of the individual could be transferred to the next generation effectively. For more details visit : www.supportlinks.biz/hlc.html 12
