According to recent studies, interest in purchasing life insurance is at an all-time high, with younger adults leading the way. The 2023 Insurance Barometer Study found that 45% of Millennials and 39% of Gen Z respondents plan to purchase life insurance this year. Additionally, a survey conducted by LIMRA found that 60% of Millennials believe that life insurance is necessary, up from just 42% in 2021.
