The performed research digest allowed concluding that the interpretation of the insurance behavior essence is limited and does not take into account its saving and consumer-related nature. So, it was proposed to determine the insurance behavior as the variety of the financial behavior of the households oriented to the provision of the financial protection of the households at the expense of the monetary funds formed by means of payment of the insurance premiums and earnings from the investment of the resources of these funds. 
It was also proposed to divide the factors of impact on the insurance behavior of the households into the external and internal causes in the course of the research conducted.

The level of impact of the demographic factors such as person’s age and gender on his/her insurance behavior was substantiated with the use of the analysis of the dynamics and structure of the membership of non-state pension funds. 
The data of the conducted research suggest that such factors as the political and social stability, condition of the labour market, income level of the households, warrants of insurance benefits, financial literacy and insurance culture, psychological personality type, acts of God, and pandemics have the greatest impact on the shaping of the insurance behavior of the households. Such factors as the rumor, pieces of advice from relatives or friends, and religion have impact on the insurance behavior to a lesser extent. The reformation of the Ukrainian insurance market regulation model would enable to eliminate the problems holding back shaping of the active insurance behavior of the households.
