The structural revaluation of human life expectancy and dependency capacity constitutes the defining economic paradigm shift for the period between 2035 and 2060. Historically, global capital formation was modeled on the maximization of labor input efficiency to generate Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. This model assumes a relatively stable or declining proportion of non-productive dependents. However, sustained demographic trends—characterized by birth rates significantly below replacement levels coupled with dramatic advances in preventative medicine and life extension technologies—have rendered this traditional economic assumption obsolete. Consequently, the limiting factor for global capital accumulation is no longer raw energy, mineral extraction, or even computational power; it is the scalable availability of 'care capacity.'
