COVID-19: a preliminary analysis of demographic and insurance industry impacts

The report provides an assessment of the demographic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly on mortality. Based on data from 15 selected countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific, the study presents an estimate of excess mortality during the first two years of the pandemic. It also offers a review of the interrelationships between excess mortality and other economic and health variables, and proposes a “Pandemic Management Effectiveness Indicator” which, using a synthetic index, groups together the combined effect of all these variables for a universe of 39 countries.
