Savings in microinsurance: Lessons from India
ILO Microinsurance Innovation Facility Briefing Note
Rob Rusconi
ILO Microinsurance Innovation Facility
February 1, 2012
Combining the financial instruments such as savings and insurance makes sense when considering the complex financial lives of low-income households. Low-income households often experience challenges to manage cash flows, cope with risks, and raise money to meet large, unplanned expenses. These households can benefit from using a combination of financial tools to meet their financial needs, highlighting a need for composite financial products like savings-linked insurance.
This briefing note presents a framework that can be used to analyse the design of savings-linked insurance products. It uses the framework to assess a new wave of products targeted at the low-income market in India and presents lessons and trade-offs that insurers must consider when designing these products.

Particular emphasis is placed on analyzing market relationships and facilitating pro-poor systemic change.
