\nThe purpose of this contribution is to summarize the main results achieved within the PNRR-funded project \u201cAge-It: Ageing Well in an Ageing Society\u201d, conducted by the Institute for Research on Sustainable Economic Growth (CNR\u2011IRCrES), the Institute for Studies on the Mediterranean (CNR\u2011ISMed), the Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies (CNR\u2011IRPPS), and the Universit\u00e0 Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan. Focusing on the Silver Economy, the research analyzes the socioeconomic impacts of demographic transitions on labor, welfare, and social relations. Key findings reveal that job insecurity for mature workers is driven by digital transformations and the gig economy, where technology can both enhance employability and signal skill obsolescence. Work-life balance is redefined as a relational process; for those over 50, satisfaction depends on social networks and the \u201ccare economy\u201d, where family ties often impose uncontracted responsibilities. The research identifies an \u201cunretirable elderly\u201d paradox, contrasting those working for purpose (e.g., artisans) with those forced by financial need, such as immigrant domestic workers. Furthermore, Italian welfare still reflects a \u201cfamilist\u201d model, leaving family caregivers at risk of economic and social marginalization. Future perspectives advocate for \u201cage-smart\u201d policies, including gradual retirement, digital inclusion, and life-long financial planning. The work highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary perspective and of solid empirical methods. The team combined qualitative and quantitative approaches, showing the value of mixed\u2011methods research. To bridge the gap between science and policy, the CNR has established a permanent interdisciplinary working group to promote evidence-based strategies that view longevity as a societal resource.<\/p>\n
