Life Webinar: Drivers and Cohorts - New Horizons in Mortality Research
Long term drivers of future mortality: Al Klein
A group of international experts on mortality and longevity are writing a paper on the long term drivers of future mortality. This work is being done in conjunction with the International Actuarial Association Mortality Working Group. The comprehensive paper will cover 11 key broad drivers of mortality. This webinar will begin by looking at a few past drivers of mortality and then include a discussion on some of the drivers that will be included in the paper.
The cohort effect: an international comparison: Dov Raphael
In a number of countries, lives born in the 1930s show mortality improvements greater than lives born in prior or later years, the so-called “golden cohort”.The webinar will present the results of a systematic analysis of the cohort effect for countries represented in the Human Mortality Database. These include graphical presentations using a weighted average of mortality changes, parameterization by fitting a sinusoidal curve to the data, and useful comparisons between countries based on population size and geographical region.This could be useful for enhancing projection models based on the cohort effect.
