| Summary: | The life insurance industry has been expanding very rapidly in the past
ten years. Growth of the industry can be measured by the amount of
sums insured and the amount of premiums paid. In this project report,
the growth of the life insurance industry from 1981 to 1990 will be
studied. The factors that have contributed to this rapid expansion is then
examined. With the results from the analysis of the factors, predictions
to the future trends of the industry were made.
In 1981 to 1983, the industry experienced strong growth. This was due
to the growing economy, low percentage of population insured and an
expanding workforce. During 1984, there was negative growth in the
industry. The general slow down of the economy, increased CPF
contribution rates and clamping down of a specific company by the
Insurance Commissioner, contributed to this decline. The growth of the
industry was regained from 1985 onward. This recovery was largely due
to better trained agents, increased awareness of the importance of
insurance and an improved corporate image of the industry.
The future for the industry looks promising and there is potential for
further growth. However, companies may have to be prepared to change
their existing business management and practices. |
