Grassroots Social Security in Asia investigates the role of mutual
associations in providing income protection to low-income people in
Asia and in particular the region's developing countries.
Historically, these associations have consisted of small groups of
people with common interests who save regularly to support,
maintain and supplement their incomes. Members make regular
contributions to a communal fund which is used to provide income
protection when they experience financial hardship. This book is
the first to comprehensively document the activities of mutual
associations and their microinsurance programs in Asia where these
programs are especially well developed. It provides a number of
important case studies that provide detailed information about
mutual associations in different parts of the region, covering
South Asia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Mongolia, Indonesia and the
Philippines. The case studies offer important insights into the
potential of mutual associations to offer effective income
protection and how their activities can contribute to the
formulation of comprehensive and effective grassroots social
security strategies in the developing world that make a tangible
contribution to the goal of poverty eradication and the improvement
of standards of living. This book will be of interest to policy
makers, academics and students in the fields of Asian studies,
Social security studies and development studies.
