National public pension systems are designed to sustain income security and prevent poverty, and in most countries redistribute funds which are a significant portion of the national GDP. Efficient governance supported by sound quantitative studies can make a lasting difference to the long-term sustainability of these systems. Given the uncertainty of future events and the complex interrelated nature of pension systems, projection methods and models are crucial for empowering policy-makers in design and monitoring. The aim of this course is to enhance the capacity of participants to use projection methods, develop actuarial models and build their own country-specific model based on the generic model of the ILO.
