Insurance Against Poverty
Abstract
This book presents research on the relationship between risk and poverty in developing countries. It explores risks and shocks affecting the poor, the risk-coping mechanisms they use, the measurement of vulnerability to poverty, and policy implications. The book is divided into seven parts. Part I discusses risk-sharing strategies. Parts II and III examine the links between risk and poverty. Part IV provides frameworks for measuring vulnerability to poverty. Part V and VI deal with the role of social institutions. Part VII presents options for protecting the poor. Part VIII discusses role of public in insuring against poverty.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
