The ILO's Microinsurance Innovation Facility (MIF) has recently released new Research Papers that highlight the impact of microinsurance around the world.
"The Impact of Health Insurance Education on Enrollment of Microfinance Institution Clients in the Ghana National Health Insurance Scheme, Northern Region of Ghana" evaluated a consumer education intervention for microfinance clients by Freedom from Hunger and Sinapi Aba Trust designed to increase awareness, knowledge and eventually take-up rates of the National Health Insurance Scheme.
"Can Microinsurance Help Prevent Child Labor? An Impact Evaluation from Pakistan" explored how reducing vulnerability through insurance impacts child labour and schooling.
"The Impact of Microinsurance on Asset Accumulation and Human Capital Investments: Evidence from a Drought in Kenya" illustrated how insurance can transfer risk in a way that reduces the need for households to rely on costly coping strategies that undermine their future productivity.
