Highlights

According to the 2023 Insurance Barometer Study, 44% of women say they need or need more life insurance, representing approximately 54 million adults. Currently, less than half of women (49%) own life insurance in 2023 compared to 55% of men. This means that women make up a significant market opportunity for our industry. Join LIMRA and LOMA’s Alison Salka, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Director of Research and Gina Birchall, Chief Operating Officer, for a conversation on understanding the needs and concerns of women and how our industry can help them protect their families through life insurance.
