Joseph Coughlin Biography

Dr. Joseph Coughlin, also called "Dr. Joe," directs the MIT AgeLab research program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Transportation & Logistics. He is a researcher, teacher, advisor, and speaker with a focus on how global demographics, technology, and changing behaviors are reshaping the landscape of business and society. In addition to leading research, Coughlin educates students in MIT's Department of Urban Studies & Planning. He also lends his expertise to major companies across the globe, the World Economic Forum and OECD, and has served on advisory committees for the White House and several federal agencies.

A significant part of Coughlin's current work is centered on how longevity and service innovation will redefine the business of providing advice to help individuals prepare for 100 good years of living. This focus is reflected in his recognition as one of Fast Company Magazine's "100 Most Creative in Business" and one of Investment News' "Icons & Innovators." As a writer, Coughlin is a Senior Contributor to Forbes and has a regular column in the Wall Street Journal and MarketWatch.

He is also a prolific author, with his recent book, "The Longevity Economy: Unlocking the World's Fastest Growing, Most Misunderstood Market," earning the title of a CEO READS Best Seller. This accomplishment led to the book's inclusion on the required reading lists of Fortune 500 corporate boards and executive leadership at firms such as Ally Bank, Best Buy, Humana, Marriott International, Lowe's, and Pulte Group, among others. Currently, Coughlin is working on a new book with MIT AgeLab colleague Luke Yoquinto, titled "Longevity Hubs of Innovation: How Regions Are Racing To Make Living Longer, Better."

Joseph Coughlin Speaking Topics

If Demography is Destiny, What Is the Future of Real Estate?

Demography is destiny. Unlike economic and technology forecasting that are most often based upon selected and changeable assumptions, demographics are based upon the people that are already here. Demographic transition, evolving lifestyles as well as related technology trends are rapidly changing. These trends are likely to have a transformative impact on real estate touching residential and commercial property as well as fuel the growth of specialized emerging developments.

Among these factors are the aging of the population, high divorce rates, smaller household composition, a three- or even four-generation workplace and the drastic reduction of fertility rates across the nation. This new demographic reality combined with the emergence of the sharing economy—a world where you can have it all, but own none of it—is changing our ideas about the future of community, home, retail and work. This engaging and entertaining presentation will explore the disruptive demographics of tomorrow and weave a story of how demography, along with next-gen technologies, will shape the future of communities, where we choose to live and housing.
