Topic:  Actuaries Respond to an Aging Society
Population aging profoundly impacts societies throughout the world, affecting much of our work.  The actuarial profession works hard producing tools and information to help institutions respond to these changing demographics.  This presentation highlights our profession’s work and its results, showing you how we provide leadership and focus on the aging society: 
          Research on post-retirement risks and how the public manages them
          Living to 100 paper/call symposium series
          Retirement 20/20
          Spending and Saving in Retirement — Focus groups and paper call
          Research on retirement planning software
          Re-envisioning retirement paper call
 
A number of research reports, projects, and paper calls in the profession respond to these issues.  This presentation provides an overview of that work and key issues facing actuaries.
