MRSC Universe of Longevity Catalysts - input needed

Open-access content Wednesday 5th May 2021

The IFoA’s Mortality Research Steering Committee is producing a model to provide a method of deriving UK population mortality improvement assumptions by looking at data showing deaths by cause, and then considering how these may change in the future as a result of longevity ‘catalysts’.

A paper (bit.ly/2Rsi3Dl) sets out a universe of material catalysts and the causes of death they are likely to impact, and we are now asking the actuarial community to help identify research considering these catalysts and the potential impact on mortality rates.

Please send details of any research you have seen that might help to [email protected]
