We need to harness pensions to progress the SDGs and economic prosperity

A decade after their adoption, the UN Sustainable Development Goals still need trillions of dollars of investment. Ten years ago today, the UN Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by 193 states at the UN General Assembly in New York. Celebrities from Beyoncé to Stephen Hawking and Malala backed the launch. The then-US President Barack Obama called it a historic achievement. He also warned that emerging and developing nations, “don’t just want aid, they want trade. They want businesses. They want investment”. In...

UK. ESG as part of investment strategies

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations have become central to pension scheme investment strategies. As major institutional investors, pension schemes are at the forefront of an evolving regulatory and stakeholder landscape that demands both compliance and meaningful action. The ESG imperative for pension schemes ESG is no longer a ‘nice to have’ for schemes’ investment considerations. As the Pensions Regulator (TPR) has recently stated, awareness of and managing systemic risks is now a core part of effective trusteeship. It's a statutory...

US. Why Corporate Pensions Are Acting Like Bond Traders

The corporate pension de-risking market has hit the brakes after a record-breaking run. More than $14 billion in pension risk transfers were executed YTD through Q3 2024—the highest level in over 16 years. Yet YTD Q2 2025, volume had dropped 64% year-over-year. What’s driving this sharp reversal? Increasingly, it appears that corporate plan sponsors are behaving like bond traders—actively timing their de-risking strategies around rate moves and market conditions. Pension liabilities are highly sensitive to long-term interest rates. When rates rise, the present value of...

Perseguir futuros más brillantes: IA y planes de jubilación

Por Dr. David Knox, Graham Pearce & Lin Shi La esperanza de vida y el costo de vida van más allá de lo que los sistemas de ingresos para la jubilación se construyeron para apoyar. Cubrir los gastos básicos podría requerir que las personas trabajen más tiempo, ahorren e inviertan de manera más agresiva, o ajusten sus estándares de vida. ¿Cómo podríamos garantizar la comodidad y la dignidad durante la jubilación? En su informe de los Principios de Economía de Longevidad, el Foro...

El dividendo de la longevidad

Por Andrew Scott & Peter Piot El argumento de la catástrofe demográfica ya es bien conocido: el descenso de las tasas de natalidad causará una contracción de la población, mientras que la mayor esperanza de vida incrementará el costo de las pensiones y de la atención a las personas mayores. En términos relativos, habrá menos trabajadores para sufragar todos esos gastos. Este relato es parcialmente cierto: en el conjunto del mundo, una de cada diez personas tiene más de 65 años...

Longevidad: la mejor oportunidad en el siglo XXI

Por Sandra Milena Castelblanco-Toro La longevidad es un concepto arraigado en la historia humana y está relacionado con la capacidad de los organismos para permanecer vivos y funcionales durante períodos prolongados. Depende de factores propios del individuo (inmunológicos, genéticos, cardiovasculares y metabólicos), y de factores externos (factores sociales y ambientales) implicados en procesos orgánicos que permiten a un individuo vivir más tiempo y con mejor calidad. El logro de la longevidad ha conducido a la transición demográfica conocida como envejecimiento...

Seguridad Social en Latinoamérica: desafíos y reformas en medio de una alta informalidad

Por EFE Latinoamérica enfrenta retos estructurales en la seguridad social, incluyendo una creciente informalidad laboral, la desigualdad y los déficits financieros, y pese a que algunos países han implementado reformas para mejorar la sostenibilidad y cobertura, las soluciones a largo plazo aún son inciertas. En Perú, el 71,2 % de la población económicamente activa trabaja en la informalidad, aunque la cobertura de salud alcanza al 89,1 %, principalmente a través del Seguro Integral de Salud (SIS). En pensiones, solo el 34,9 % de los adultos mayores...

OECD Employment Outlook 2025: Can We Get Through the Demographic Crunch?

By Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Over the past two decades, population ageing, increasing statutory retirement ages and rising education levels have led to higher employment rates among workers aged 55 and above in OECD countries. However, progress across countries remain uneven, and employment rates decline rapidly from age 60, such that many workers are leaving employment well before reaching the eligibility age for a pension. To sustain living standards and address structural labour shortages, many countries will need...

The Impact of Job Exposure to Artificial Intelligence on the Korean Labor Market in 2020

By Yeseul Lee & Hyeonjun Hwang This study examines the impact of artificial intelligence exposure on wage and employment outcomes in the Korean labor market in 2020. We propose the Artificial Intelligence Exposure Score (AIES) by integrating 27,921 Korean AI patents from 2011 and 2020 with O*NET task descriptions through Sentence-BERT natural language processing techniques. This approach creates occupation-level exposure measures that reflect Korea-specific innovation patterns. Using data from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS), we estimate log-linear...
