Summary Facing an ever aging society in which financial liberalization is taking place and information and communications keep progressing, this survey investigates the public life consciousness in such areas as interest preference, senior life, and nursing care of the elderly as affected by such broader, socio-economic changes, and identify trends in the public receptivity of the life insurance products and enterprises which reflect such life consciousness.
