Child-free households not insured

Child-free households are 60% less likely to have relevant protection in place*, research has found.

Child-free families are on the rise, with 4.1m households in the UK not having children in their family unit. This has financial benefits, as child-free households have about £12,000 more disposable income per year. But it seems that those without children may not have considered their insurance as 67% of double income child-free households do not have life cover, while 82% of single income households are unprotected.
