Chapter Chapter 5 in Handbook of the Economics of Population Aging, 2016, pp 237-309 from Elsevier

Abstract: We describe the risks faced by the aging population and survey the corresponding insurance markets for these risks. We focus on income risk, health expenditure risk, long-term care expenditure risk, and mortality risk. We also discuss the interactions between social insurance and private insurance markets.
