This Working Party studies the rise of Antibiotic resistance (‘ABR’) and how it has become an increasing concern to the medical professions, health services and governments of the world’s major economies. Given its potential impact, the subject is now of increasing concern to insurers and reinsurers from a mortality perspective, and to a lesser extent pensions actuaries.
Key objectives:
- Produce a paper summarising the main issues relating to sources of ABR, mitigation actions being investigated, recent trends, and publicly available projection results / methodologies
- Develop a simple modelling framework with plausible parameterisation to allow actuaries to develop their own views on likely and stress mortality impacts
- This framework would be developed in a UK context but would be expected to be readily transferable to other countries
Key ouputs:
- A Heath and Care Newsletter article
- A presentation at the Life Conference in 2017
- A SIAS meeting on 8 May 2018
- A presentation at a live streamed sessional meeting on 18 June 2018
- A research paper due in 2018
- An article in The Actuary
- A sessional meeting on 25 February 2019
- Finalised working party report - 31 August 2019
- Antibiotic resistance - data analysis - 13 September 2019
