A better decision starts with better information.

Loneliness isn’t just a feeling, it’s now recognised as a serious public health issue, affecting both mental and physical wellbeing.
As we age, staying connected becomes more important than ever.

In the 2026 edition of New Zealand’s Best, we explore the growing loneliness epidemic, and share practical, positive ways to stay connected, engaged, and fulfilled in later life.

If you or someone you love is navigating this stage of life, this is an important read.

It’s a modern-day reality, more New Zealanders are working well beyond 65.

In 2013, 22% of adults aged 65+ were employed. By the 2023 Census, that had risen to 24%. For many, it’s about purpose and staying active. For others, it’s financial necessity.

Our latest issue of New Zealand’s Best explores this shift in “Experience Counts: Seniors Shaping Our Workforce.” We look at the valuable contributions older New Zealanders continue to make, and share professional insights from Seniors at Work.

What are the villages in my area and do they have care on site?
How does Super work? What happens to super if I choose to work past 65? for example.
