Ottawa, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – March 5, 2024) – “A change has occurred in the key drivers of living a longer, healthier life,” says Steve Prince, FCIA, President of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA). “Previous studies said that wealth was the major driver. But recent studies say that education is now a bigger factor than wealth.”
The CIA has published its latest insight statement, Education and Longevity, prepared by CIA members Peter Gorham (FCIA), Jie (Jessica) Ji (FCIA) and Shantel Aris (ACIA).
Studies based on looking at many countries show a connection between education level and life expectancy. The CIA’s statement not only explores this relationship but also demonstrates how higher educational attainment correlates with extended lifespans and contributes to enhanced overall health outcomes.
Key highlights of Education and Longevity include:
The statement is available in English and French on the CIA’s website.
