Abstract
Life insurance and pension systems have been exposed to new risks in recent decades. In addition to unfavorable demographic developments in the field of natality, they must also face the long-term phenomenon. The article presents an empirical analysis of the real data from the mortality tables of the V4 countries. The analysis shows that there is a significant prolongation of life in all four countries, which puts the threats of solvency. The paper also highlights the possibility of securitization of this risk.
Key words
Life insurance, longevity, risk transfer.
