Survey Finds Rising Healthcare Costs Top Financial Concerns for Corporate Employees in India
A survey of 748 corporate employees across major Indian cities reveals rising healthcare costs have surpassed job security and EMIs as the top financial concern. About 94% reported unexpected medical bills cause financial stress, yet 45% lack personal health insurance beyond employer-provided group coverage. While 84% consider additional insurance important, many remain unaware of their existing benefits. The study also found nearly 70% could sustain finances for six months or less if unemployed, highlighting broader financial vulnerability among salaried workers.
