Family, Fertility and the Future of Arab Societies in the Longevity Era

Across Arab and GCC societies, people are living longer while many are marrying and having children later. At the same time, assisted reproductive technologies are creating new options for starting families.

This session explores how these changes are reshaping family life and relationships between generations. It will consider how governments, employers and communities can support family formation while respecting individual choice, and how family bonds and cultural values can remain strong as societies change.
