Intro
Korea is aging rapidly. At the end of last year, the proportion of the 65-year-old population
(13.5%) surpassed the population under the age of 15 (13.4%). By 2026, the population
over 65 years old is expected to be 20% or higher and Korea will enter the ultra-aged society.
In particular, the survey found that the rate of elderly population growth reaches four times
that of member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
An aging society is not far away from now on. It is the reality that came forward to the very
eye of us. The minimum safeguards that will keep us from an aging society are 'health' and
'pensions'. To this end, the insurance industry is making efforts to strengthen the public health
through private health insurance and to guarantee pension income by private pension.
Moon Jae-in administration announced the 'Moon Jae-in Medical Care', which applies the
national health insurance to over 3,800 non-reimbursable medical care items, and is considering
the introduction of Korean own way of 'Riester pension'. However, there are still a lot of issues
to be sorted out by private health insurance and pension sector to bring the healthy and rewarding
life to people in their old age. The Financial News will invite domestic and foreign experts to present
the directions for the development of private health insurance and annuity insurance, the two
pillars of personal insurance, in order to be prepared for the age of 100.
In this symposium, we have invited highly respected speakers from Japan where has been
experiencing aging society beforehand, as well as top experts from Germany which is a world
leading country in the private medical insurance and annuity insurance sector. These well-known
speakers will share their experiences and knowledge. In-depth discussion will be held after the
speeches.
I would like to invite you to the 10th Global Insurance Symposium and explore the strategies to
cope with the coming aging era. Thank you.
