Abstract

The insurance sector is recognized as rapidly growing and developing in Russia in recent years: compared to 2023, in 2024 the insurance market demonstrated a twofold growth. Successes in the insurance sector in general, and the most difficult to develop form of it – voluntary insurance – in particular, indicate an increase in the activity of the economic behavior of the population, which forms the goal of this study: to study the social component of the voluntary insurance category through its reflection in sociological discourse. The paper provides an overview of both theoretical approaches to the study of insurance from the standpoint of sociology and applied sociological research devoted to voluntary insurance. The main conclusion of the study is the formation of a contradiction: on the one hand, there is an increase in the efficiency of the voluntary insurance industry, which is covered from an economic point of view, on the other hand, the social essence of this process, despite the scientific evidence of its role, remains poorly studied and is not actively broadcast in the sociological field.
