| Summary |
The social security system, which is the foundation of people’s life protection, has changed, and the preparation for life protection and the formation of financial assets through self-help efforts have become more important issues than ever before. Meanwhile, the environment surrounding the selection of financial assets is also changing. While the range of choices for financial products and services has expanded, consumers are now required to take more responsibility for their choices. The purpose of this survey is to explore the direction of financial asset selection by understanding consumers’ selection behavior and selection consciousness regarding financial products and services. |
