Younger workers may be less aware than older workers about the need to buy extra disability insurance protection.
Researchers at the consulting arm of Aon Corp., Chicago, have published figures hinting at differences between the generations in a report based on a survey of 83 employers of all sizes.
Aon researchers asked participating employers about which voluntary insurance products have been popular with baby boomers and which have been popular with members of Generation X.
The researchers put workers ages 45 to 60 in the boomer category and workers ages 25 to 40 in the GenX category.
