4 People Are Living Longer, Worldwide Average global life expectancy has risen 9.5% from 65.3 in 1990 to 71.5 in 2013* Life Expectancy For illustrative and discussion purposes only. *Research funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and conducted by the University of Washington s Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation. 3

6 And Since We re Here in B.C British Columbia and Ontario surpass all other provinces and territories in life expectancy. And B.C. is behind only two international peers Switzerland and Japan B.C. also has the highest life expectancy for those who reach 65, and B.C. residents spend a large portion of their lives in full health 5

7 The Result? Retirement Is Lasting Longer Life expectancy of 65 year olds Male Female Life Expectancy Source: Willis Towers Watson 6

8 But Longer Retirements Bring Risk Longevity risk can mean different things to pension funds and individuals but the problem is the same the risk of running out of money For individuals, uncertainty about how long they will live makes planning and budgeting for retirement increasingly difficult For governments, delivering on spending promises made in the past is becoming much harder, leading to challenging discussions on pension reforms and healthcare spending 7
