Description: This session delves into Actuarial Fairness and compares it to other fairness concepts within the context of retirement savings, exploring how these ideas influence behaviors among retirees. We explore how immediate financial pressures and complex financial decisions impact people's willingness and capability to save for retirement. The session will also review traditional retirement solutions and innovative alternatives, assessing how each aligns with fairness principles. Drawing parallels from public discourse on resource distribution in sectors like healthcare, we discuss broader implications of fairness in financial regulations and impacts on policy and decision-making in retirement planning.
