Did you know about the increasing economic power of women and their role as the primary financial decision maker, either in business or in their family? Also, did you know that women are typically not as well protected as men when it comes to life insurance, despite their economic importance?
With March being Women's History Month and March 8th, International Women's Day, I thought it would be interesting to share this informative piece from Pacific Life from a few years ago. The statistics may be off a little but the message is just as important.
Just the top statistics alone are reason enough that women should be taking another look at life insurance. 42% of businesses are owned by women, they control more than half of the country's wealth ($22 Trillion,) 70% of households rely on a woman's salary, and approximately 70% of moms in the United States can expect to be the primary financial provider before their children turn 18.
So, give this infographic a read, its a quick one and its pretty enlightening and if you haven't considered your financial impact on your family or your business and how life insurance can protect that, now may be the time.
