Insurance Uncovered: Why Financial Literacy Must Include Insurance Education for the Next Generation

Despite living in a risk-based world, most UK schoolchildren know little about insurance. SSP Broker’s national survey of 1,000 young people aged 12–16 reveals:

  • Only 18% have learned about insurance in school
  • 69% would consider a career in insurance
  • Social media and TV are more influential than teachers or textbooks
  • Many misunderstand what insurance is legally required

This white paper explores the knowledge gap, its societal impact, and how we can bridge it.
