Behavioral Economics in Life Insurance: Unlocking Consumer Insights for Smarter Decisions Training Course

Introduction

Behavioral economics has emerged as a transformative force in the life insurance industry, offering fresh insights into how individuals make decisions about risk, savings, and protection. Unlike traditional economic theories that assume rationality, behavioral economics explores the psychological, emotional, and social factors influencing consumer behavior. In life insurance, understanding these drivers helps insurers design products, enhance client engagement, and reduce barriers to uptake.

This 10-day training course equips participants with the tools and knowledge to apply behavioral economics principles in life insurance. Through real-world case studies, interactive sessions, and strategic applications, participants will learn how to use behavioral insights to improve product design, boost policyholder retention, and create personalized customer experiences. The program highlights practical techniques such as nudges, framing, and choice architecture that can transform decision-making processes in underwriting, distribution, and claims management.
