| Summary | Now that people have achieved material affluence, they seem to have begun to pursue individually defined affluence. Such a trend of an age constitutes a source of changes in the field of life protection. In order to elucidate such changes, a mid-term project (from April 1987 to March 1991) was initiated under the name of the "Study on Life Consciousness and the Life Protection System." This survey study is part of the final report of the project, and is characterized by having narrowed the focus down on life insurance after completing a two-year basic study (reported by the First-Stage Study Group in March, 1989). The present survey captures the way people's "needs for life protection" are diffused as well as the ways they select life protection resources. It also introduces simulation models developed for this occasion to analyze alternative life protecting patterns which people are likely to follow as the society changes in the years to come. |
