Working women in the UK lack financial protection, according to a new report from Bright Grey .
The protection specialist revealed that more than 50 per cent of working women said that they have no life insurance cover in place to protect their families in the event of a death. The Women and Protection report also found that over four in five working women did not hold income protection policies and much the same number of working women have not taken out either a critical illness policy or private medical insurance .
Roger Edwards, proposition director at Bright Grey, said: "Bright Grey is calling for women to have adequate financial protection in place for themselves and their families. By buying a protection product that pays out if they are unable to work due to a serious illness or disability, women can ensure they protect both their household income and current lifestyle. There are various affordable protection options in the market, and it is critical that women who are increasingly running their household finances are protected."
