Abstract

In Bangladesh, life insurance underwriting has continued to be progressively developed over time and has contributed to securing the financial stability of insurers and the development of this sector. Data used in the underwriting, which assesses the risk profile of applicants, directly determines premium rates, policy terms, and the long-term success of insurance providers. The study intends to present comprehensive insight into life insurance underwriting practices in Bangladesh, furnishing insights on prominent risk factors, challenges, regulators, and relevant opportunities for enhancement. The study outlines how the life insurance market works today, and what role demographics, health, lifestyle, and socio-economic variables play in underwriting decisions; and offers some recommendations for improving the efficiency and accessibility of the sector in the future.
