讲座简介：
We conducted an online survey on a sample of 1,000 urban Chinese people of retirement age to elicit and analyse preferences for retirement insurance products to cover longevity, health and long-term care (LTC) risks in the wake of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. We designed a sequence of choice tasks to elicit the preferred allocation of retirement financial assets across a savings account, a life annuity, critical illness insurance and LTC insurance and the extent to which access to health-contingent insurance could lead people to release precautionary savings to purchase longevity insurance. The survey also collected comprehensive data on personal preferences, financial competence, demographics and socioeconomic indicators and variables measuring the effects of COVID-19 on personal finances, mental stress and risk-taking behaviour. On average, the most preferred retirement portfolio comprised health-contingent insurance that covers 50% of the expected out-of-pocket (OOP) costs for critical illnesses and LTC, a monthly annuity of about 19.6% of the average disposable income in urban China, with the remaining retirement wealth placed in a savings account. However, portfolio composition varied considerably by individual background. The portfolio that covers 50% of the OOP costs for LTC was most effective to release precautionary savings to increase annuitisation. Findings inform the development of retirement products in China and other developing economies facing population ageing and incomplete insurance markets.
