Mortality and the Provision of Retirement Income
This report analyses the development of mortality assumptions to build mortality tables
to better protect retirement income provision. Mortality assumptions are necessary
to ensure the sustainability of lifetime incomes. It explores considerations and traditional
approaches for developing mortality tables, as well as provides an international overview
of longevity trends and drivers over the last several decades, including the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report also details the standard mortality tables developed
across OECD member countries and offers guidelines to assist regulators and supervisors
in assessing whether the mortality assumptions and tables used in the context of retirement
income provision are appropriate.
