In 2010, we expect to see draft legislation on the dependency insurance market in France. The number of elderly dependent people is expected to double by 2040, and we need to prepare for this development in order not to saddle future generations with too heavy a burden. The idea of a public-private partnership should be one of the paths to explore.

Lastly, normal everyday accidents involving elderly people are frequent. Two thirds of all such accidents involve people aged 74 and over*.

To respond to this growing market demand, APRIL Assurances offers a large number of policies: dependency protection, funeral insurance, etc.

*According to a study conducted by the Institut National de Veille Sanitaire based on a sample of 18,549 accidents occurring between 2000 and 2006.
