Talkin' about Generation X
Article Abstract:
Life insurance companies are not targeting the Generation X population as aggressively as they pursue affluent baby boomers. Generation X is composed of 41 million people born between 1965 and 1976. Some executives suggest that life insurance needs to be more flexible and user-friendly before generation X consumers will buy. Generation X consumers also do not believe that Social Security will provide retirement funds and are very interested in long-term financial planning.
