Abstract

This book chapter examines the economic, socio-cultural and demographic factors influencing household decisions to purchase life insurance in Andhra Pradesh. Using primary survey data from 600 households across three coastal districts and logistic regression models, it analyses the effects of income, occupation, risk tolerance, household characteristics and rural–urban location on insurance uptake. The findings indicate that life insurance consumption is strongly associated with income and risk preferences, is more prevalent in urban areas, and remains limited among low-income and rural households.
