With the unexpected decrease in death rates; variability in the age of death declined and deaths are concentrated to the older years of life, therefore, causing deficits in the pooled funds of insurance and pension providers, which are built upon the underestimated rates. To correctly measure the effect of mortality rates on the financial stability of these providers, longevity risk should be taken seriously. This study aims to investigate the future mortality and longevity risk of three countries with different age structures. Turkey, Germany, and Japan are chosen with respect to their expected life and population distributions. Lee-Carter mortality model is used on the historical census data to forecast future mortality rates. The longevity risk on a hypothetical portfolio is assessed based on static and dynamic mortality table approaches. To determine the impact of longevity risk retrieved from the use o...

This paper aims to investigate the future mortality and longevity risk with different age structures for different countries. Lee–Carter mortality model is used on the historical census data to forecast future mortality rates. Turkey, Germany, and Japan are chosen concerning their expected life and population distributions. Then, the longevity risk on a hypothetical portfolio is assessed based on static and dynamic mortality table approaches. To determine the impact of longevity risk, which is retrieved using a stochastic mortality model, a pension insurance product is taken into account. The net single premium for an annuity is quantified under the proposed set up for the selected countries. Additionally, the credibility approach is proposed to establish a reliable estimate for the annuity net single premium.
