The International Actuarial Association Mortality Working Group, Chair Brian Ridsdale, works on mortality and longevity issues within the framework of the International Actuarial Association Mortality Group (IAA).  It has now produced an Update from its latest meeting held in Cape Town, South Africa, on 19 and 21 November 2016.

The MWG Update is available in 11 languages and contains the summary of discussions at the meeting.  It also provides access to the detailed minutes of the meeting, MWG papers and presentations.   Please do pass this message on to others who may have an interest.

MWG is happy to share its knowledge and materials with as many interested parties as possible (actuarial associations, pension funds, universities, etc).  At the same time the MWG wants to enhance the benefit it can bring to all interested organisations and parties by improving its work through the feedback it may receive.  For this, it has set up a short survey form and would be very grateful if you and/or anyone reading the Update and/or materials could provide their feedback on MWG materials and activities. 

Brian Ridsdale’s six-monthly UK Update on what’s happening in the UK on mortality and longevity, including a reading list of Journal articles on mortality/longevity added to IFoA Library catalogue, March to October 2016 is also available to download.
