Living to 100: Survival to Advanced Ages - Call for Papers: Society of Actuaries
Location: Orlando, Florida, USA
Abstract submission deadline: 16 October 2006
Dates: 7-9 January 2008
With growing awareness of the long term effects of increasing numbers of persons surviving to very high ages, the Society of Actuaries Committee on Living to 100 Research Symposia is now organizing its third triennial international symposium on high age mortality and related issues to be held in January, 2008. Ages of interest are ages 60 and over with special emphasis on ages 85 and over.
A major thrust of this Call for Papers is to encourage experts in the field of government sponsored retirement systems (social security) from around the world to develop sound estimates of present and future survival rates that can be used to evaluate the appropriateness of current social security system projections.
