| Annotation | There is uncertainty surrounding the data on life expectancy used by the Pensions Commission. This paper comprises: a commentary on the appropriateness of the sources of life expectancy projections used in the Pensions Commission report; a commentary on recent trends in UK population life expectancy; a review of the Report's proposals for State Pension Age (SPA) treating the life expectancy projections used by the Commission as known fact; and a commentary on the uncertainty around life expectancy projections, including the factors which give rise to this uncertainty. The submission has been produced by the Actuarial Profession as a response to the Pensions Commission 2nd report, as a contribution to the National Pensions Debate, and as input to government policy in advance of the forthcoming Pensions White Paper.
