Sex Discrimination OK?

Published / Last Updated on 17/10/2004

An EU ruling has at last seen sense and found that it is not illegal for insurance companies to offer women lower life insurance premiums because they are less likely to die earlier than men.  Higher sickness insurance premiums for women because they are more likely to be off work with a long term illness because their bodies are more complex and smaller annuities because they live longer.

Our view

The EU proposed equal treatment some time ago and since then most lobbyists, insurance companies etc have been campaigning against this ruling.

Sense from the EU at last.
