Building on their first year of collaboration, Insurance Europe and the European Youth Parliament (EYP) are continuing their partnership in 2026 to foster open, transparent dialogue between young people and the insurance industry. This year's activities will have a strong focus on financial literacy.
Insurance Europe and EYP continue partnership with focus on financial literacy
What have we done together so far?
The first year of partnership involved a number of activities, including the EYP developing a position on pensions in Europe during its International sessions in Thessaloniki in 2024 and the Hague in 2025.
Europe’s pension crisis: young people demand fairness and propose reform
Insurance Europe also held a one-day innovation lab in partnership with the EYP during its 15th International Conference in Brussels on 5 June 2025. It gathered nearly 60 young people from 22 European countries who discussed and presented their expectations of the insurance industry.
Europe-wide survey: young people say buying insurance should be simpler and smarter
A Europe-wide survey in 2025 explored young people’s experiences and views of the insurance industry. Organised by Insurance Europe and the EYP, the survey was open to residents of 41 European countries aged 16-34.
➡️ 57% did not find buying insurance as an easy process
➡️ 82% are willing to pay more for better coverage/benefits
➡️ 82% feel they did not receive enough financial education at school to make informed insurance decisions
➡️ 73% believe that even small investments are worthwhile
➡️ 79% want insurers to play a greater role in promoting responsible behaviour, and most are open to sharing data
