Application closing date: 17 November
The IFoA’s Finance and Investment Board and Pensions Board are seeking expressions of interest to join this established working party. Lay members, including non-IFoA members, are also welcomed.
This working party focuses on summarising the known causes of the pensions gap (most strongly delineated by gender, followed by other aspects, including ethnicity and low income/financial confidence) identifying the steps that can be taken to address the gap, and finally, estimating the likely range of impact of these steps.
Given the issues the working party are examining, it is important that the membership has a diverse and representative background. Applications from all sectors of the actuarial community are actively encouraged and welcomed. We particularly welcome male applicants and those from an ethnic minority, as they are under-represented in this working party. All applicants will be considered equally on merit.
We are looking to attract a breadth and wealth of experience to the working party.
The strength of the working party will be shaped by those that make it happen.
This working party will focus on the call to action, focusing on what can be done to address the pensions gap moving forward.
Practical and potentially technical output will be required, for example to pull together the economic arguments as to why it makes sense for changes to be made to the current status quo.
The working party meets every four weeks. Meetings are held online, so there is no requirement to meet in person in any particular location.
