I have always thought about the question, what are the things that motivates a household to purchase a life insurance plan. Recently I happened to stumble upon an article that answered exactly this. Today my post is mainly about this. I am going to briefly summarize the contents of the article to spare you with the trouble to reading 1000 sentences.

For those of you wondering the meaning of financial vulnerability, it is calculated taking into the household’s volatility that could result from an unfortunate incident of death of wage-earner and the ratio of the working and non-working members in a household.

Now the demand of a type of house hold life insurance also depends on the members of the household. A household comprising of a young married couple is likely to purchase a more expensive insurance plan than a household with an old couple. It has been observed that older couples prefer to invest in assets other than insurance plan.

Let me now briefly discuss the other factors influencing the purchase house hold insurance plan. It has been found that the demand of life insurance is also greatly dependant on the insured’s death and the approximate consumption by the other household member. The last and perhaps the most important factor is the impact of non-working members in the household the household’s life cycle protection decision.
