The Dai-ichi Life Research Institute was established in April 1997 with the aim of enhancing the information dissemination, policy proposal, and consulting functions of the Dai-ichi Life Group. In October 2002, we merged with the Life Design Institute (established in September 1988), which was previously established to conduct research on daily-life issues (economy, health, education, family, and mind). This merger aimed to create a unique institute that comprehensively covers both economic and life aspects, as well as macro and micro perspectives. Furthermore, in April 2009, we merged with Dai-ichi Life Well Life Support (established in April 1998) to enhance our information dissemination functions related to health, medical care, and nursing care.

Our research areas have since expanded to encompass not only macroeconomics, finance, insurance, pensions, social security, and demographic issues, but also a variety of fields related to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), technology, life design, and well-being. We are living in an age of unprecedented change, characterized by volatile global geopolitical landscapes and the swift advancement of new technologies such as AI. Leveraging our unique position as a life insurance-related think tank, we strive to provide clear and insightful information with a long-term perspective, illuminating both the present and future for our clients.

In addition to disseminating our research findings, we offer consulting services to companies and organizations. As the importance of human capital management grows, we conduct various seminars and training programs to enhance the well-being of employees, focusing on health promotion, asset formation, and more.

Under the Group Purpose of the Dai-ichi Life Group, "Partnering with you to build a brighter and more secure future", we are committed to being a think tank that "illuminates your present and future" through "diverse and creative thinking and clear communication." We will continue to dedicate ourselves to research and information dissemination with even greater effort.
