It shows that women have slightly greater need for long-term care insurance than men. With regard to the influence of age on the demand for long-term care insurance, the age of policyholders is mainly from 40 to 49 years old, where male and female policyholders account for 24.73% and 29.90%, respectively.

When this kind of insurance products is promoted and advocated in future, the concept of “early planning” will be reinforced in order to raise young peoples’ (20 to 39 years old) willingness to purchase long-term care insurance.
