It seems we have a big problem with financial literacy in the UK. More young people struggle with simple calculations, and a recent survey for Allianz said even adding up basic change was an issue many struggle with. We explore what this means when it comes to buying insurance, why people are so bad at calculating risk, and whether it would help if financial education is changed in schools.

To find out why there is a higher concentration of high financial literacy amongst the older generations, and more so for men, our host - Steph McGovern - is joined by:
Patricia Pelayo Romero, an economist with Allianz John Jerrin, a Professor of Education and Social Statistics at UCL

The Financial Literacy Gap For Insurance

Autonomous vehicles or self-driving cars are supposed to be just round the corner, but we’ve been saying this ever since the first episode of Insurance Tomorrow.

They may seem like something from science fiction, but a few specialised examples could hit the roads in a few years time. The benefits and implication the technology could bring are huge, but so are the challenges for the insurance industry..

Our host - Steph McGovern - seeks to establish where are we and what are the issues with experts:

Insurance Tomorrow: Best of 2023

In this episode we look at how the insurance industry can drive the transition to Net Zero, and the importance of ESG for Business.

Net Zero is now a well-known phrase, but we ask how we can translate into it with urgency. It’s something Governments can push but business and the insurance industry can help change mindsets and processes.

While the transition to net zero can appear like a huge long term task for firms just starting on their net zero journey, our host - Steph McGovern asks what practical things can insurance companies do now to have a positive impact on climate change.
