The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) is inviting research teams and organisations to tender for a project to develop and test a concept of a game to assess decisions of individuals making at retirement

Closing date for proposals is Friday 8 April 2016, 12:00 noon

Call description:

From April 2015, the government introduced some of the most significant changes to pensions in almost a hundred years. It believes that individuals who have worked hard and saved responsibly should be trusted to make their own decisions with the pension savings.

In response, the IFoA formed a Working Party of volunteer members (Rationale for retirement behaviour Working Party) to focus on an individual’s decision-making at, and during, retirement. The Working Party has developed a concept of a game with the intention to test users’ behaviour and explore whether their behaviour can be influenced by framing and feedback aspects.

In order to make the game available to a wider audience, the Working Party would like a robust research to inform how the game is presented, what questions are asked and how they are asked. With input from a research team, the IFoA seeks to address the following objectives:

  • Objective 1: Concept Development and Design
  • Objective 2: Testing and Analysis
