A comprehensive understanding of human mortality rates and successful management of longevity risk is a fundamental task for actuaries because they are crucial for the pricing and valuation of various life insurance and living benefits products. Our proposed session will include three oral presentations to cover interesting topics in this area including two talks on mortality forecasting using machine learning strategy, and from the Bayesian point of view, respectively, and a talk on robust strategies for longevity risk management.

The session invited two early career researchers, Liqun and Jackie. EDI principles have been carefully implemented when forming the session proposal.
