Australian Institute for Population Ageing Research
AIPAR has been developed within UNSW as an umbrella for research initiatives focused on population ageing and demographic transition. Directed by Professor John Piggott, it is unique globally in incorporating research teams covering health, labour, economic, financial and technology related issues by harnessing expertise from the fields of business, social sciences, engineering, medicine and the built environment. AIPAR works closely with industry leaders, including corporate and government partners the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, PricewaterhouseCoopers Australia and Australian government agencies. In conjunction with these partners, AIPAR undertakes research and stimulates debate about the challenges raised by global population ageing, develops ideas for new products, formulates policy proposals and encourages partnerships with other research institutions in Australia and overseas. One of AIPAR's current initiatives is the production of a regular Longevity Index, which aims to emphasise the importance of longevity risk and insurance.
