Course Description

In the wake of COVID-19, policymakers and retirees have been shocked into a new awareness of the need for better risk management tools to handle longevity and aging. I will discuss the status quo prior to the spread of the virus, evaluate how retirement systems have fared in the wake of the shock, and examine insurance and financial market products that may render retirement systems more resilient for the world’s aging population.

Learning Objectives:
  • Identify key elements of retirement system in the US and globally
  • Evaluate how the pandemic is challenging retirement systems
  • Develop proposals to enhance retirement security
