Presentazione del corso
Efficient governance supported by sound actuarial studies can make a positive contribution to the long-term success of social protection systems. The adequacy and financial sustainability of the long-term benefits provided under national public pension schemes have major policy implications. Actuarial studies enable policymakers to better anticipate future deficits and achieve the policy objectives of social protection systems. Through a combination of lectures and applied modelling exercises, this course aims to reinforce the technical skills needed for the long-term actuarial planning of national pension schemes and social protection systems.
