Additional Description:
"China Middle Market Study"
http://www.soa.org/Files/Research/Projects/research-2014-changing-middle-market-white.pdf
The International Section, Marketing and Distribution Section along with the Research Expanding Boundaries Pool supported a research initiative that explored the changing middle market for life insurance in China. Led by Dr. Walter Zultowski of WZ Research + Consulting, LLC in collaboration with Greenwald & Associates, 1,989 young family households from 19 cities across China with annual incomes between RMD 60,000 and 360,000 were surveyed to understand some of the general attitudes and behaviors of today’s consumer of life insurance in the country. The results were used to identify different segments of the life insurance consumer.
“Retirement Risks and Opportunities in the Chinese Market”
As part of a multi-year study between LIMRA, the Society of Actuaries and local actuarial associations in Asia, have performed an extensive Retirement Risk Survey beginning with China in June 2015. The results of the survey and forward-looking innovative opportunities for the life insurance and retirement industries will be covered.
