Research on savings and insurance services for low-income households in Viet Nam

The ILO proposes to conduct research on savings and insurance services in Viet Nam. The research complements the activities of the ILO project “Extension of microfinance and microinsurance to informal women workers” implemented in Viet Nam from 2003 to 2005 in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs, and with support from the French Government. The research aims to update the information on savings and insurance services included in a study the ILO had conducted in 2003, and to explore innovative partnerships to expand the access of low-income households to insurance and savings services. The research is to be seen as a preliminary activity, the findings and recommendations from which will guide the ILO and other stakeholders to develop new interventions to expand outreach of insurance and savings services in Viet Nam.
