risk factor

Read a random definition: Reprieve

A quick definition of risk factor:

A risk factor is a term used in insurance to estimate the cost of present and future claims based on a mortality table. It is one of the elements used by life insurers to calculate premium rates. Essentially, it is a way for insurance companies to assess the likelihood of a policyholder making a claim and how much that claim might cost.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A risk factor is an estimated cost of present and future claims based on a mortality table used in life-insurance ratemaking. It is one of the elements that a life insurer uses to calculate premium rates.

For example, if a person has a high risk factor due to their age, health, or lifestyle choices, they may have to pay a higher premium rate for their life insurance policy. This is because the insurer expects to pay out more claims for that person based on their risk factor.

Another example of a risk factor is a person's occupation. If someone works in a high-risk job, such as a firefighter or construction worker, they may have a higher risk factor and therefore a higher premium rate for their life insurance policy.

that's insane
I think it's ridiculous sometimes how schools want to act like we're adults but then won't treat us like them sometimes.
It's like you either want to let us all sit at the adult table or just leave as at the kiddy table.

GULC said that? University of Tennessee offers daycare and has single parent clubs where they will help with babysitting and work with you to schedule exams. Talked to an ambassador who had a single mom of 3 in her class and the school helped best they could
