Ensuring financial security in retirement is a fundamental component of safeguarding income and providing stability for individuals in their later years. As global populations age and life expectancies rise, the imperative for effective pension systems has never been more pressing. These systems are essential not only for old age income security and consumption smoothing but also for mitigating longevity risk, especially in an era where old age dependency ratios are increasing globally.

In this context, the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) and the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) are organizing the 1st International Research Conference on Pension (IRCP) at New Delhi on 27th and 28th of February 2025. This conference serves as a crucial platform for addressing the dynamic and evolving global landscape of pension systems. The discussions will span economic, environmental, and social challenges, reflecting the diverse experiences and strategies from around the world.

IRCP 2025 aims to bring together scholars, practitioners, and industry experts from across the globe to engage in meaningful dialogue, share ground breaking research findings, and explore innovative solutions. The conference will feature keynote addresses, panel discussions, and research presentations that will provide insights into various aspects of pension management, investment strategies, regulatory frameworks, and social security systems.
