If you became injured or lost your job tomorrow, would you have a financial safety net in place?

Well, a study released at the end of last year has revealed that 28% of women's greatest financial fear is not being able to support themselves or family financially, yet 51% have no form of protection should a financial crisis occur. That means no life insurance, critical illness cover or income protection.

Why Aren't These Women Covered?

The research by pension company Aegon also revealed that 46% of women believe it is their sole responsibility to ensure their family's income is enough should illness, redundancy or any other unexpected event occur. So, why aren't they taking out cover?

The study also found that 48% of women believe insurance is too expensive, 20% don't think it's a priority, whereas 19% think it's a waste of money. More than a third (36%) said they would rely on savings if something happened and they couldn't work for six months, however 16% said they didn't have any savings. Lastly, just 13% believed they had enough savings to support themselves for a year or more.

Furthermore, 35% said they would rely on a partner's income to manage financially, although 49% said they currently rely on two incomes to cover everyday expenses.
