One in every 14 of customers with term life-insurance policies stop paying the premiums each year, according to life insurance industry group Limra. For those with permanent policies, which may have a cash value long before the death of the insured, some 25% of policyholders stop making premium payments within the first three years of owning the policies; within 10 years, 40% have let the policies lapse.

What are the potential impacts of computers on the labor force?

There are two possibilities that computers can have on the labor force. If computers are considered as capital that increases the productivity of the labor force, then firms will hire more labor. This is because the labor force can produce more at the same or lower cost than before because of the new capital. Another possibility is if the computer allows the same amount of work to be done with only one person instead of many, the labor force will decrease. This is because the firm only needs one person to do a job that many were doing before. These possibilities can be applied to any new technology or capital that increases productivity, which possibility depends on the technology and what plans the firm has for the future.

WHY life insurance company paid high commission in first year?

First year commissions on life insurance policies can go as high as 140 percent. Commissions are high in the first year because that's the year in which the agent has all of the marketing and servicing expenses. Life insurance policies generally pay 5% or less or even no renewal commissions because there isn't anything for the selling agent to do once the policy is in force.
