Fewer than half of mothers who work outside the home have any disability insurance.
Researchers at Hartford Financial Services Inc., Hartford, have published that finding in a summary of results from a recent survey of 971 U.S. men and women ages 18 to 65.
Only 47% of the participants from households that include mothers who are working outside the home said the mothers have short-term disability insurance, and only 37% of the participants from those households said the mothers have long-term disability insurance.
