Premature death is defined as the death of a family head with outstanding financial obligations like dependents to support. It can cause serious financial problems for the deceased's family. Costs include lost future earnings, funeral expenses, and reduced living standards. However, increased life expectancy has reduced this problem. Factors that increase premature death include obesity, sedentary lifestyles, lack of health insurance, and higher risks for minority groups. Life insurance can help families financially by restoring lost income and paying outstanding costs. Different family types have varying needs, but families with children typically require more coverage to support dependents.

of life insurance.

insurance –

amount of life insurance as premature death of this person can
result in financial support to both the generations mentioned
above.

typically present who require financial support as
parents support them.
But buying large amounts of life insurance on children
is not recommended as major disadvantage can be
that the head maybe inadequately insured.
