News of the World: Money Saving Expert on EU Gender Case

Our weekly column in the Irish News of the World is here. This week we looked at the EU gender directive case that was to be heard today and news is just in that it passed. This is interesting as it means that in the future that insurance companies will not be able to price people according to their sex, they will have to use other methods. This is interesting, many people accept that young males are ‘more risky’, but while this is statistically true it isn’t down to biology alone and for that reason they are saying you can’t use biology to underwrite, rather you will have to seek to pinpoint that risk and identify it then price it.
