Greece. Is this a country for young people?

“Life can only be understood by looking back,” Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard once wrote, and looking back on my own life I realize how lucky my generation was, growing up in the 1970s and 80s to have lived in a more peaceful, safer, and more optimistic era than the present. On the contrary, our children’s generation will have to live in a much bleaker world: with wars on our doorstep, the specter of irreversible climate catastrophe looming, and the...

UK. What longevity trends mean for pensions and insurers

Over the last two centuries, average life spans have doubled. For pension schemes, insurers and policymakers, this long-term trend has shaped how we think about retirement, ageing and financial security. But the story is becoming more complex. Recent decades have seen a slowdown in improvements. Covid-19 caused widespread disruption, and continuing healthcare pressures mean the future is less predictable. In this blog, we reflect on what’s happening to longevity – and what it means for pensions and insurance. By Ben...

The climate crisis might jeopardize your retirement: Experts warn Canada’s pension watchdog is underestimating risks

Wildfires, floods and other severe weather events are not going away, they are only becoming more common, part of what scientists have been warning for decades. The economic shocks of changing oceans, the jet stream and the loss of our polar ice caps, as well as mass glacial loss in Canada turning our forests into tinder boxes, will only get worse as global temperatures blow past the tipping point that marked severe planetary distress. For those who have to plan...

México. El aumento en el gasto en pensiones urge mayor recaudación

El gobierno federal destinará 2.23 billones de pesos para pagar las pensiones de los mexicanos, incluyendo las del Bienestar. En el Paquete Económico 2026 , Hacienda aumentará un 5.2% el dinero que se va a pensiones contributivas y universales, lo que a decir de los expertos, aumenta la necesidad de llevar a cabo una reforma fiscal que le permita mantener ese nivel de gasto. Iván Arias, director de estudios económicos de Banamex, dijo en entrevista que la carga tributaria más pesada que tendrá el gobierno es entre 2030 y 2035 ante los jubilados por la Ley...
