Global Perceptions: health and wealth among underserved communities
As part of our Bridges Initiative, Sun Life conducted a global survey to assess perceptions across four markets, aiming to understand the views of underserved groups on their financial, physical and mental health, and their financial and insurance providers.
Sun Life’s Purpose is to help people achieve lifetime financial security and live healthier lives. We believe that everyone should have access to insurance and wealth services that meet their unique needs and help them to achieve their health and financial security goals.
Historically, certain communities have experienced barriers to access health and wealth solutions. To understand the gaps they face, Sun Life, in partnership with Ipsos, conducted a global survey, asking for their perceptions on their health, wealth and of our industry.
While in general, people feel that the health and wealth products they have meet their needs, across countries, underserved groups generally have a more negative assessment of their physical, mental and financial health, and a more pessimistic outlook for their future.
As part of our Bridges Initiative we’re digging deeper into these gaps. Spanning different countries, abilities, races, health and income levels, underserved groups are extremely diverse and so too are their experiences and needs. The findings from this survey have been used as an input into our Bridges Initiative strategy throughout the year.
