1. Longevity improvements for various segments of society and its impacts on the funding of pension plans
To analyze the impacts of improvements in mortality rates on the financial sustainability of social security schemes.

2. Optimal funding of social security schemes in a changing demographic environment
To analyze possible changes in the financing of social security, including the introduction of self-adjusting mechanisms aimed at enhancing the financial sustainability of schemes, and the establishment of a minimum guarantee benefit as a tool to extend coverage and protect individuals from poverty.
