Reducing poverty requires not just the generation of income among the poor, but also the protection of these incomes. The present study strategically points to the numerous emerging opportunities for energizing the rural insurance market, building on robust economic growth, increasing numbers of rural entrepreneurs and recent insurance regulations. The study presents concrete recommendations for insurers, authorities and community-based organizations alike in order to realize the potential of this latent market.
