A Visual Representation of Longevity

There is an interesting blog that appears to be affiliated with the British pension consulting firm Redington.  

The “Red Blog” offers pension-related content from a group of authors who are both formally and informally associated with Redington. 

Not surprisingly, longevity trends and longevity risk are prominent topics on the Red Blog. 

The design of the blog and the visual representation of dry and fairly abstract topics are unique. 

For example, this graphic provides an interesting representation of worldwide longevity trends and projections over a 120 year time horizon.  

The graphic—titled World Population Evolution—demonstrates the projected growth of the retirement age population from 1950 (5 percent of the world’s population retirement age) through 2070 (20 percent of the world’s population retirement age).
