Living longer: Lessons from Australia
Longer lives challenge how retirement income is designed. This episode explores what we can learn from Australia’s experience.
Why is the Australian longevity business so relevant to insurers globally?
Australia combines long life expectancy with a mature, asset-rich pension system. While retirees have flexibility and choice, they often self-insure longevity risk and underestimate how long income must last. Andrea Stähr and Kris Boundy discuss how that tension forces insurers, funds and reinsurers to rethink product design, moving beyond rigid annuities toward flexible, behaviour-aware lifetime income solutions. For insurers globally, Australia offers real-world lessons on how regulation, consumer behaviour and innovative longevity risk transfer interact long before other markets feel the same pressure.
