Hi everyone,
It’s no secret that the global economy is in some serious trouble (i.e. credit crunch), but how will this impact the future of actuaries?
In addition, which areas of actuarial work (i.e. pensions, life, general, investment), and why, will be hardest hit?
Common sense tells me that there will always be a need for insurance. Therefore, I’m thinking the life and general areas may be less severely affected, as opposed to the other areas of actuarial work. Would I be correct in this assumption? Something tells me it’s a lot more complicated than this simple inference.
