To prove how few people have insured themselves, 5.9m have insured their pets. Insurance company, Ageas carried out the study and they found that while parents were more likely to have life insurance, a critical illness policy or some kind of income protect policy in place around six out of 10 parents with children under the age of 18 had absolutely no protection in place at all.

When questioned about what the most money would be that they’re prepared to spend on a policy that covered both themselves and their children 15% said that they would only be prepared to spend £5 per month, 17% said that they would only be prepared to pay £10 a month whereas a further 10% said that they would be happy to commit to a monthly premium of £20. These figures are roughly in-line with the figures for pet insurance.
