| Resumen: | Microinsurance is a rapidly evolving field with great potential to help the world’s poor to manage the risk of large losses, as described in the introductory quotation by H.R.H. Princess Máxima of the Netherlands, UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development. The extension of insurance to low-income households provides a way to integrate financial inclusion and social protection, potentially benefiting not only the working poor, but also their communities and countries (see Box 1). Yet millions of low-income households do not have access to appropriate insurance products, and the insurance industries in many countries are not fulfilling their potential to support economic development and job creation. |
