Description: Fairness in life insurance isn’t a checkbox—it’s a set of choices, trade-offs, and consequences. In this webcast, the report’s author will walk through a practical framework for defining and measuring fairness in life insurance workflows, showing why “fair” can mean very different things depending on whether you’re focusing on individuals or groups—and why you often can’t optimize both at once. You’ll get a clear tour of the major fairness criteria used in today’s literature—what they measure, where they fit in insurance, and what can break when you adopt them .
