INDUSTRY STUDY
NATURE OF THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY:Goods and services: The insurance industry

provides protection against financial losses resulting from a variety of perils. By purchasing insurance policies, individuals and businesses can receive reimbursement for losses due to car accidents, theft of property, and fire and storm damage; medical expenses; and loss of income due to disability or death. Industry organization: The insurance industry consists mainly of insurance carriers (or insurers) and insurance agencies and brokerages. In general, insurance carriers are large companies that provide insurance and assume the risks covered by the policy. Insurance agencies and brokerages sell insurance policies for the carriers. While some of these establishments are directly affiliated with a particular insurer and sell only that carrier’s policies, many are independent and are thus free to market the policies of a variety of insurance carriers. In addition to supporting these two primary components, the insurance industry includes establishments that provide other insurance-related services, such as claims adjustment or third-party

administration of insurance and pension funds. These other insurance industry establishments also include a number of independent organizations that provide a wide array of insurance-related services to carriers and their clients. One such

7

service is the processing of claims forms for medical practitioners. Other services include loss prevention and risk management. Also, insurance companies sometimes hire independent claims adjusters to investigate accidents and claims for property damage and to assign a dollar estimate to the claim.

WORKING CONDITIONS:Hours: Many workers in the insurance

industry—especially those in administrative support positions—work a 5-day, 40hour week. Those in executive and managerial occupations often put in more than 40 hours. There are several occupations in the insurance industry where workers may work irregular hours outside of office settings. Those working in sales jobs need to be available for their clients at all times. This accommodation may result in these individuals working 50 to 60 hours per week. Also, call centers operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so some of their employees must work evening and weekend shifts. The irregular business hours in the insurance industry provide some workers with the opportunity for part-time work. Part-time employees make up 8 percent of the workforce. Work environment: Insurance employees

working in sales jobs often visit prospective and existing customers’ homes and places of business to market new products and provide services. Others working in the industry may need to frequently leave the office to inspect damaged

8

property, and at times can be away from home for days, traveling to the scene of a disaster—such as a tornado, flood, or hurricane—to work with affected policyholders and government officials.

EMPLOYMENT:The insurance industry had about 2.3 million wage and salary jobs in 2007. Insurance carriers accounted for 62 percent of jobs, while insurance agencies, brokerages, and providers of other insurance-related services accounted for 38 percent of jobs.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:Congressional legislation now allows insurance carriers and other financial institutions, such as banks and securities firms, to sell one another’s products. More insurance carriers now sell financial products such as securities, mutual funds, and various retirement plans. This approach is most common in life insurance companies that already sold annuities, but property and casualty companies also are increasingly selling a wider range of financial products. In order to expand into one another’s markets, insurance carriers, banks, and securities firms have engaged in numerous mergers, allowing the merging companies access to each other's client base and geographical markets. Insurance carriers have discovered that the Internet can be a powerful tool
9

for reaching potential and existing customers. Most carriers use the Internet simply to post company information, such as sales brochures and product information, financial statements, and a list of local agents. However, an increasing number of carriers are starting to expand their Web sites to enable customers to access online account and billing information, and some carriers even allow claims to be submitted online. Many carriers also provide insurance quotes online based on the information submitted by customers on their Internet sites. In fact, some carriers will allow customers to purchase policies through the Internet without ever speaking to a live agent.

LIFE INSURANCE:Life insurance is protection against financial loss resulting from death. It is an insurance company's promise to pay your beneficiary a specific amount of money when you die in exchange for timely payment of premiums.

WHY LIFE INSURANCE:There are many good reasons for buying life insurance, some of which include:


Providing for the financial security of your family in the event of personal loss or injury.

   

Providing funds to pay for the deceased person's funeral. Insuring against a particular need - for example home mortgage or college loan Providing funds to pay income taxes or other final obligations due on an estate. Compensation to a company in the event of a loss of a key employee or to provide funds to purchase the remaining share of a business from a partner.

INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT

My project is on the awareness of life insurance among people. I researched on people’s thinking towards life insurance. I did my research keeping some questions in my mind like. These are my research questions.  Why people insured their life?  What are the basic reasons for doing life insurance?  What is the percentage of those people who had insured their life?  What are their incomes & they are between in what age?  Are they living in joint family or not?  What is their biggest concern for the future child education, retirement, child’s marriage or medical illness?  How many insurance they have?  Are they satisfied with the services of the company?  Are they wanted to purchase another company’s product?  Whether they know all the benefits of having life insurance or not? I tried to find all the answer during my research.

25

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Project title:―THE AWARENESS OF LIFE INSURANCE AMONG CONSUMERS‖

OBJECTIVES
I made one questionnaire for research. I did my survey with the help of this questionnaire. Through questionnaire I asked some basic questions to others & came to know that whether they have life insurance or not, if they have so in which company & in which product. If they don’t have so are they planning to have or not? What are their biggest concerns for their future? Who are those, who preferred life insurance most, who lives in joint family or in nuclear family. What is the reason if someone doesn’t have life insurance, whether he/she is aware of its benefits or not. Are they satisfied with the service of the company from which they purchase the products? My target was individual’s house, all the malls, local markets, local shops, dealers, the whole department of life insurance companies etc.

26

HYPOTHESIS
NUL HYPOTHESIS (h0):CONSUMERS ARE NOT AWARE OF LIFE INSURANCE. ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS (h1):CONSUMERS ARE AWARE OF LIFE INSURANCE.

27

METHODOLOGY
I used quantitative research. I filled out about 50 questionnaires, some were relevant, I analyzed those questionnaires & made some graphs, through which I came to know about the awareness of the life insurance among people. Which company has a great value among people? Which products are popular among people? This was my questionnaire through which I did my survey. During my summer internship I was in recruitment process. I recruited life adviser for the BHARTI AXA LIFE INSURANCE Company. This work also helped me a lot in my project because I did face to face meeting with different kind of people. It was great experience. During my research I came to know about the awareness of life insurance among people. My target was individual’s house, all the malls, local markets, local shops, dealers, the whole department of life insurance companies etc. I got one survey form from the company. My work was filled out that survey form from those people whom I targeted for life adviser & with the help of that survey form I had to understand that whether that person will be interested to become an life adviser or not. In the same time I filled out my questionnaire as well as from that person.

CONCLUSION

After doing my research I got the result that most of the persons are aware of the benefits of life insurance. Some people who had not life insurance they were with positive thinking about life insurance & were planning to have it. Some people who has low income they were not interested in life insurance but when I told them about different – different plan so they were quite interested in it. I hope they will definitely change their mind & will be aware of benefits of life insurance. THE AWARENESS OF LIFE INSURANCE IS DAY BY DAY INCREASING AMONG PEOPLE.

RECOMMENDATIONS
 Buy what you need. It's not a good idea to under-buy insurance, nor is it beneficial to over-buy, so when you're in the market for insurance, be sure to evaluate what your exact needs are and go from there. A good way of doing that is in the form of an equation: Short-term needs + long-term needs - resources = how much life insurance you will need.  Buy early. Instead of waiting until there is a real problem with your health, buy life insurance early in life. As you age, the price of your life insurance will increase, so the younger you start, the more you will save. To keep your premium low, you may want to inquire about a "level premium" policy. Which keeps your premium rates the same for a set amount of time.  If you're healthy, stay away from guaranteed issue policies. Guaranteed issue policies, also know as "simplified" or "quick" policies, may sound too good to be true, because they really are. They do not require a medical exam, making them seemingly ideal, but ultimately much riskier for the insurer. If you are healthy, you will get much better rates by buying a life insurance policy that requires a medical test.  Check online. When shopping around for any kind of insurance, looking online is a great way to compare prices and see what different companies

have to offer. The more information you give, the more accurate your insurance quote will be.

 Make a change for the better. If you are overweight, are a smoker, have heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes, finding affordable life insurance may be difficult. This is because the better your health is, the easier and more affordable it will be for you to buy life insurance. Insurance companies will issue lower premiums if the policyholder is in good health standing. The less things that may give you a risk of dying sooner, the more affordable your life insurance policy will be. Also, if you do have an outstanding medical condition, you are a smoker or overweight, and you are trying to better your health, be sure to document it. By showing the insurance company your medical files and that you have been trying to improve your health, you may save yourself some money in the long run.

 Being responsible saves you money. This goes along with making a change for the better.
