Quick bite: Are we prepared for a rapidly aging population?

800,000 Kiwis are projected to be over 75 by 2040 – double today's numbers.

Summerset Group CEO Scott Scoullar discusses the rapidly aging New Zealand population and retirement villages integrate with aged care facilities, combining community connections with higher levels of care. Plus, did you know Summerset is New Zealand's second-largest home builder? In a bonus clip we find out about their occasional ventures into residential development.

This clip is taken from our previous episode 'Retirement villages: A hidden real estate giant?'
