CEO Activism in 2017: High Noon in the C-Suite
The document discusses a study on CEO activism which found that Millennials have higher awareness of and support for CEOs speaking out on controversial issues compared to older generations. Millennials are more likely to believe CEOs have an obligation to take stands, more favorable toward CEOs who do, and more likely to engage in actions that support companies whose CEOs agree with. The expectations of Millennials as the next generation of leaders mean CEO activism is an important dynamic for companies to navigate.
2017 Construction Industry Report Highlights
We live in an era of unprecedented volatility. Trends on three major dimensions – economics, demographics, and geopolitics – combined with the exponential pace of technology change, are converging to create a challenging new reality for organizations. These forces create opportunities that we cannot even imagine, but also present new frontiers to be explored.

The economics of climate change: no action not an option
The world stands to lose close to 10% of total economic value by mid-century if climate change stays on the currently-anticipated trajectory, and the Paris Agreement and 2050 net-zero emissions targets are not met.
Many emerging markets have most to gain if the world is able to rein in temperature gains. For example, action today to get back to the Paris temperature rise scenario would mean economies in southeast Asia could prevent around a quarter of the gross domestic product (GDP) loss by mid-century that they may otherwise suffer. Our analysis in this report is unique in explicitly simulating for the many uncertainties around the impacts of climate change. It shows that those economies most vulnerable to the potential physical risks of climate change stand to benefit most from keeping temperature rises in check. This includes some of the world's most dynamic emerging economies, the engines of global growth in the years to come. The message from the analysis is clear: no action on climate change is not an option.
Promise and peril: How artificial intelligence is transforming health care
AI has enormous potential to improve the quality of health care, enable early diagnosis of diseases, and reduce costs.

This report includes many of the articles we published and summarizes our findings, as well as recommendations we heard from caregivers, health care executives, academic experts, patient advocates, and others.

Amnesty International: Death sentences and executions 2020
In 2020, Amnesty International recorded the lowest number of executions in over a decade at 483. This was a 26% decrease from 2019. Four countries - Iran, Egypt, Iraq and Saudi Arabia - accounted for 88% of all recorded executions. The global number of known death sentences also decreased by 36% compared to 2019, partly due to disruptions from the Covid-19 pandemic. However, some countries like Egypt more than tripled their executions and the US resumed federal executions after a 17-year hiatus, putting 10 men to death over 5 months. Overall, the report found that the trend towards global abolition of the death penalty continued in 2020, but the pandemic exacerbated the cruelty of capital punishment in some retaining
Aviva: How we live
Aviva’s first How We Live report was published in September 2020 when the world was firmly in the grip of a global pandemic. In the UK the vaccination programme is well underway and the mood of the nation is hopeful. This latest How We Live report looks at the long-term effects of the Coronavirus outbreak and considers its impact on our future behaviours.
We interviewed 4,000 adults across the UK to gather their views on a wide range of lifestyle decisions including property priorities, home-working, green living, career paths, vehicle choices and holiday plans. We also asked whether people had experienced any positive outcomes from the Covid pandemic. This report considers the practical and emotional skills which have been fostered as a result. Since the beginning of 2020, the UK has seen immense change. As we look forward to a sense of “normality” it remains to be seen which aspects of life will return to their previous states, and where we can expect changes to become permanent fixtures.
Policyholder behavior to close the protection gap
The life insurance industry provides protection against the financial consequences of the premature death of a family breadwinner, disability, or outliving one’s retirement assets. But how are life insurance products actually designed and priced?
Product committees comprising agents, underwriters, actuaries, and senior management sit and discuss what new products should be offered. The agents have vast experience visiting with policyholders to determine their needs. Underwriters set the guidelines on which policyholders will be accepted and/or rated. Smart actuaries (while most would find this redundant, some would call it an oxymoron) assess the potential risks in these products and set a potential price. Senior management listens to agents, underwriters, and actuaries and helps finalize the product design, the guidelines for accepting risks, and the price. The programmers will also have to be contacted to determine the cost of administering the products. Many iterations of these discussions may take place before a product is ready for sale. The entire process could take up to a year.
Some of these products are quite complex, taking into account long-term interest rates and probabilities of death/survival, disability, and lapse. With this lengthy and rigorous process, one would imagine that few mistakes are made. However, this is not the case. What follows are a few examples of major product mistakes which cost the life insurance industry a lot of time, money, and bad publicity.
Regulatory Considerations for Digital Insurance Business Models
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns forced many insurers to accelerate the transition to digital business models. In many countries, this transition has been remarkably successful, however, the crisis also highlighted the critical role played by national regulatory frameworks in both hindering and facilitating the shift to digitalisation in the insurance industry. COVID-19 lockdowns highlighted the critical role of national regulatory frameworks in both hindering and facilitating the shift to digitalisation in the insurance industry. Digitalisation is not a goal in itself, but provides insurers and their customers with benefits that are particularly useful in situations where in-person interactions cannot take place, played out in its fullest form during the COVID-19-induced lockdowns. Digitalisation drives an increase in speed and efficiency, irrespective of where the customer is located, and promises improved customer service and satisfaction.
Interner of Things Iinsurance gateway
The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and its implications for insurance. It notes that as more "things" become connected to the internet and collect data, this creates opportunities for new types of insurance products based on device interactions and data-driven risk assessments. However, it also raises issues around data integrity, privacy, security and regulation that must be addressed. The insurance industry could gain over $1 trillion in new premiums if it properly manages risks related to data, cybersecurity, cloud computing and more.

/freedom in thw World 2020
Democratic watchdog organization Freedom House has released its annual ranking of the world's most free and most suppressed nations.
The report is a key barometer for global democracy and this year's edition found that global freedom has declined for the 15th straight year. 2020 was a turbulent year with the pandemic, violent conflict and economic and physical insecurity leading to democracy's defenders sustaining heavy losses against authoritarian foes which has resulted in a shift in the internatioal baance in favor of tyranny.
A total of 195 countries and 15 territories were analyzed on their levels of access to political rights and civil liberties with the number experiencing a deterioration in their freedom scores exceeding the number that saw improvement by the widest margin since 2006. In 2020, nearly 75 percent of the world's population lived under a government that saw its democracy score decline in the past year.

Oecd Competition Trends 2020
Strong competition undoubtedly contributes to a country’s productivity and economic growth. The primary objective of a competition policy is to enhance consumer welfare by promoting competition and controlling practices that could restrict it. More competitive markets stimulate innovation and generally lead to lower prices for consumers, increased product variety and quality, more entry and enhanced investment. Overall, greater competition is expected to deliver higher levels of welfare and economic growth.
Long-erm Care and Health Care Insurance in OECD and Other Countries
This report carries out a stocktaking of what systems have in OECD and non-OECD countries for longterm care and health care, as well as the types of insurance products that are made available in these countries. It is part of a broader project that examines the complementarity of the social security network with the private insurance market, which examines how insurance could support the public sector longterm care and health care systems, as well as considering the financing of long-term care and health care.
Global insurance market trends 2020
This tenth edition of Global Insurance Market Trends provides an overview of market trends to better understand the overall performance and health of the insurance market. This monitoring report is compiled using data from the OECD Global Insurance Statistics (GIS) exercise. The OECD has collected and analysed data on insurance in OECD countries, such as the number of insurance companies and employees, insurance premiums and investments by insurance companies, dating back to the 1980s. Over time, the framework of this exercise has expanded and now includes key items of the balance sheet and income statement of direct insurers and reinsurers.
OECD: Artificial Intelligence's impact on the labour market
Does AI threaten and undermine human value in the workplace more than any other technology? There have been significant advances in AI, but will their impact really be different this time?
This literature review takes stock of what is known about the impact of artificial intelligence on the labour market, including the impact on employment and wages, how AI will transform jobs and skill needs, and the impact on the work environment. The purpose is to identify gaps in the evidence base and inform future research on AI and the labour market.
What happened to jobs at high risk of automation?
The OECD has estimated that 14% of jobs are at high risk of automation.
•Despite this, employment grew in nearly all OECD countries over the period 2012-2019.
•At the country level, a higher risk of automation was associated with higher employment growth over the period. This might be because automation promotes employment growth by increasing productivity, although other factors are also at play.
•At the occupational level, however, employment growth was much lower in occupations at high risk of automation (6%) than in occupations at low risk (18%).
•Low-educated workers were more concentrated in high-risk occupations in 2012 and have become even more concentrated in these occupations since then.
•The low growth in jobs in high risk occupations has not led to a drop in the employment rate of low-educated workers. This is largely because the number of workers with a low education has fallen in line with the demand for these workers.
•Going forward, however, the risk of automation is increasingly falling on low-educated workers and the COVID-19 crisis is likely to accelerate automation, as companies reduce reliance on human labour and contact between workers, or re-shore some production.

Prescription drugs cost an average of 2.56 times more in the United States than they do in 32 other countries, according to a new report from RAND Corporation.
That disparity is even greater for brand name drugs, with U.S. prices averaging 3.44 times those in comparison nations. The study also found that prices for unbranded generic drugs — which account for 84% of drugs sold in the United States by volume but only 12% of U.S. spending — are slightly lower in the United States than in most other countries.

‘A circular nightmare’: Short-staffed nursing homes spark Covid-19 outbreaks,...Δρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
Nursing homes have suffered grievously in the coronavirus pandemic. Chronically understaffed, that’s getting worse, a new US Pirg Education Fund analysis says. The shortage of direct-care workers rose from 20% of U.S. nursing homes in May to 23% in December. Too few workers raises stress among staff, the authors argue, making them and the residents they care for more vulnerable to Covid-19 infections, reducing staff further in “a circular nightmare.”Helping people stay in their homes tied to fewer Covid-19 cases
This document analyzes the impacts of utility disconnection and eviction moratoria policies on COVID-19 infections and deaths across US counties. It finds that policies limiting evictions reduced COVID-19 infections by 3.8% and deaths by 11%, while moratoria on utility disconnections reduced infections by 4.4% and deaths by 7.4%. Had these policies been adopted nationwide, infections could have been reduced up to 14.2% and deaths up to 40.7% with eviction moratoria, and infections reduced up to 8.7% and deaths up to 14.8% with utility disconnection moratoria. The document provides background on housing precarity and heterogeneity in government COVID-
