Life Conference 2024 A7: Understanding mortality trends in a post-pandemic world
- The pandemic and the ongoing pressures on the healthcare system have significantly disrupted mortality trends. Where traditional actuarial methods typically extrapolated mortality trends into the future, solely relying on these approaches no longer works in a post-pandemic world. In this session we will explore: • The key factors and drivers affecting mortality rates following the pandemic;
• How these have impacted the ability to project mortality trends into the future; and
• How the use of expert insights from actuarial and health disciplines can help develop forward-looking scenarios for future mortality trends
