Wonderful experience to spend two days at the #DubaiFutureForum2023. Lots of interesting things discussed across a wide range of panels - including: 👴 Demographics, and what to do about declining birth rates, ageing populations and overall population declines - see here: http://grp.hsbc/6046RBFts 📊 How do we measure success in a world where we're running up against shortages of resources? Do we need to re-think growth models and what policymakers are targeting? 🥕 The future of food, and how we can produce enough food, and the types of food that we are able to produce. Some great panels and a chance to try some lab-grown foods, too! See our note on the future of food, here: http://grp.hsbc/6044u0ucr Some great conversations with a wide variety of people around the sessions, too. A pleasure to be involved! #HSBCresearch

The global population has never been bigger, but some countries are aging faster than others.

“Let’s be honest, San Diego is one of the best economies in the country,” shared Dr. Christopher Thornberg. “There are some tensions, some issues, and the labor supply is incredibly tight.

https://lnkd.in/eZT3M2G9 The results are in. Aon conducted an actuarial analysis of a cohort of Surest members derived from 2021 and 2022 Surest books of business. Aon’s analysis used their member-level Cost Efficiency Measurement (CEM) methods that compared the experience of the Surest member cohort against a control group derived from a multi-employer, self-funded, commercial claims database with matching demographics, geographics, diagnoses, and health comorbidities for the same time period. The findings showed the Surest health plan led to an average savings of $400 per member, per year and demonstrated sustained performance and efficiency across ages, conditions, and comorbidities.
