None of those are "economical benefits. Unquestionably social benefits, but increased longevity is hardly a boon to the economy.

One possible second order effect: when people's parents are alive longer, they feel happier and more connected to society and are more productive.

There could be many other potential second-order effects (and third-order, etc).

I would think healthier populations improves the economy. The people with the most disposable income are usually the ones who either never had kids or whose kids have all grown up.
