Let’s talk about longevity: Abreu Advogados announces the theme for Legal Up 2025-2026
Abreu Advogados announces the new edition of Legal Up 2025–2026, dedicated to the theme of longevity, one of the most pressing challenges of contemporary society. After addressing digital exclusion in the previous edition, Legal Up now turns its attention to the impact of an ageing population and the solutions needed to promote active and inclusive ageing.
According to global projections, life expectancy will continue to rise, with the global population of people aged 60 and over expected to double by 2050. In Portugal, the ageing of the population is happening at an accelerated pace, making it urgent to develop public policies and private initiatives that ensure quality of life, social inclusion and financial security for older people.
