This study finds out the determinants of life insurance demand in the Ayeduase-Kumasi community from the perspective of consumers. The study adopted Logistic regression modeling technique with 256 cross section observations. Income, higher education, number of dependents, employment by someone else and better perception about insurance firms improved the chances of taking life insurance. Age however, has negative relationship with the odds of taking life insurance. Number of dependents was statistically significant at 1%. Age and Type of employment were both significant at 5% while's income and education level were significant at 10%. Overall the Chi-Square showed that the model was statistically significant at less than 0.001. This study had similar results to previous studies and deviates as well. Çelik and Kayali found a positive relationship between income and odds of taking insurance and that was not different from the results of this study. Contrary to Çelik and Kayali, higher education influences positively the odds of taking life insurance. Moreover, segmenting customers into different groups by using the type of employment as basis of segmentation could help insurance firms to prescribe policies that customers may patronize.

The dependent variables for the vast majority of models was the life insurance density (number of US Dollars spent annually on life insurance per capita) and the life insurance penetration (total life premium volume divided by GDP).…”

This paper examines the determinants of foreign participation in life insurance markets across 24 OECD countries during the period 1993-2000. The empirical results show that socio-economic and market structure factors influence foreign participation in life insurance markets. More specifically, life expectancy, foreign market share, income, dependency ratio, financial development, level of competition, economic growth and market liberalisation have positive impacts, whereas expense/combined ratios and social security expenditure have negative impacts on foreign participation in life insurance markets. In addition, governance/legal indicators (common law, political stability, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, the rule of law and control of corruption) all show positive impacts on foreign participation in life insurance markets.
