Description: Are you searching for an overview of the SOA Research Institute's Mortality & Longevity Strategic Research Program? Join us for an introduction into studies focusing on the historical U.S. population and insured mortality trends. Two research projects are observed in this webcast, one examining the impact of COVID-19 on mental illness and the impact of mental illness on U.S. Mortality & Longevity. The second study looks into the Group Life COVID-19 Mortality Survey and the high level view of U.S. group term life insurance mortality results during the pandemic. Come explore the research goals and the future for the Mortality & Longevity Strategic Program.

Description: Deaths due to non-medical causes such as drug overdoses, alcohol-related deaths, homicides, suicides and accidents are the leading cause of death for those under the age of 50 in the U.S. and is the fourth leading cause of death (after cardiovascular, cancer and COVID-19) for all ages combined in 2021. Take a deep dive with us into the mortality trends for non-medical causes of death and the impact these deaths have on different types of life insurance, including simplified issued, fully underwritten and group.

Description: What are the recent trends in mortality? Should we expect different mortality experience in a post-COVID-19 world? Join us as we review the latest emerging trends in U.S. population mortality. By the end of this session, you will understand the impact of COVID-19 on future mortality experience. You will also understand other major causes of mortality and how they are trending.

Description: Mortality improvement assumptions have typically been focused on all-cause mortality improvement. However, as evidenced in recent years, the cause of death has a large impact on mortality improvement. Join our panel of experts as they discuss mortality improvement through the lens of different causes of death. This discussion will include a review of the historical cause specific mortality improvement trends seen in the U.S. population and how this relates to the insured population. The panelists will then discuss how to use these trends to inform future mortality improvement assumptions. Key learning objectives include: - Identifying the trends in mortality improvement for select causes of death - Understanding how to adapt these for an insured population - Applying these learnings to mortality improvement assumptions
