AFDP 2024: Pensions Benefits and Social Security

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 10:31:26 +0000

The first session of “Pensions” course will be dedicated for the classical Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) pension systems. PAYG systems work following an intergenerational solidarity, where the contributions paid by the current generation of workers are used to pay the benefits of the current generation of retirees. Such a system is very sensitive to demographic changes, such as longevity and population aging, and is still very popular in developing countries, but constitutes a small share of the multi pillar systems adopted in many Industrialized countries. The first part of the pensions' course will be dedicated to learning further about the financing mechanism of PAYG system, their strengths and weaknesses, and to presenting sustainability analysis cases, in which we consider Algeria as an example. The other types of pension systems, such as the fully funded, the notional account, and the universal systems will be developed in the second session of the course, i.e. Pensions II.

Demystifying Actuarial Science for Laymen

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 09:37:58 +0000

Actuarial Science might sound mysterious, but it doesn’t have to be! In this video, we break down complex actuarial concepts into simple ideas by animations — no formulas, no jargon. Whether you're curious or confused, this video will leave you feeling smarter. Because understanding how insurance works isn’t just for actuaries — it’s for everyone. You'll learn about three key concepts that drive many insurance products: Payback Period, Non-Guaranteed Bonus, and the Law of Large Numbers. We’ll explore how insurance works like a long-term exchange — you pay premiums and receive benefits in return. How soon that happens may depend on the type of policy: participating or non-participating. Ever wonder how insurers decide whether to give you a non-guaranteed bonus? Or how do they maintain financial stability even during years of poor investment returns? We’ll explain bonus smoothing — a clever mechanism that helps maintain the bonus during economic ups and downs. And finally, we reveal the mathematical magic behind the scenes: how actuaries use the law of large numbers to predict risks and set fair prices.

Les voix de l’actuariat - Nouvelles technologies, nouvelles solutions : l’actuariat au cœur des transformations

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 12:10:03 +0000

Ce nouvel épisode des Voix de l'Actuariat, la collection de podcasts proposée par l'Institut des actuaires, est consacré aux technologies qui bousculent le métier d'actuaire : automatisation, intelligence artificielle, plateformes de données… Plus rapides, plus puissants, les outils d’aujourd’hui ne se contentent plus d’assister : ils transforment en profondeur la façon de modéliser, d’anticiper et de conseiller. Python est devenu un standard, les calculs s’exécutent en temps réel, et les actuaires sont désormais au cœur de la stratégie des entreprises. Mais cette révolution pose aussi des questions : quelles compétences faut-il développer ? Quels freins faut-il lever ? Et jusqu’où pousser l’automatisation sans perdre l’essence du métier ? Pour nous éclairer sur ces sujets, Grégoire Tournon a invité Keren Bauget, manager, et Jeffrey Calvez, senior consultant, tous deux collaborateurs du cabinet Deloitte (https://www.deloitte.com/fr/fr.html) au sein de l’équipe actuarielle. Ils vont partager leur expérience et leur vision d’un métier en pleine transformation.

A Kenyan PerspectiveThe actuarial profession in Kenya is undergoing a significant transformation, marked by a growing presence in public policy, regulatory engagements, and emerging sectors such as climate risk and climate finance. Actuaries are leading efforts by working directly with regulatory bodies, such as the Insurance Regulatory Authority to support innovation in microinsurance and the development of inclusive insurance solutions.To address the actuarial skills gap, structured apprenticeship programs, academic curriculum enhancements, and promotion of international certification pathways are underway. These developments reflect efforts to strengthen the profession’s capacity to influence national development and manage complex risks in an evolving socio-economic landscape.A Ghanaian PerspectiveAs Africa’s economies evolve, so too must the actuarial profession.
