Life Expectancy Recovery: 83.5 Years

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

Healthcare improvements, opioid crisis response, and mental health investment push life expectancy past pandemic-era dip. Chain: life_expectancy -> elderly_benefits (+0.15, d4). Longer lives mean more OAS/GIS spending — the demographic fiscal squeeze from the other direction.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 27). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
