There is considerable uncertainty surrounding projections of future life expectancy in the UK. Although a central set of assumptions produced by the Government Actuary's Department/ONS is often used in models to project future expenditure on age-related areas such as pensions and long term care, there are a number of alternative projections, and alternative methods of making projections available. To date there has been little investigation of the impact of changes in life expectancy projections on age-related expenditure.

This seminar will explore:

• What are the alternative methods of estimating life expectancy and the factors that should be considered? .
• What would be the impact of variations in life expectancy projections on expenditure projections for long-term care and pensions? .
• What is the potential impact on the private sector of variations in life expectancy?
