Overview: This paper on microinsurance in South Africa was completed thanks to the generous funding of the Dutch Government as part of the Dutch Partnership Program with the International Labour Organization (ILO). This paper forms part of a multi-country project that seeks to understand the risks that low-income entrepreneurs face, their coping strategies, and the potential role that insurance can play in managing those risks. The paper reviews the regulation of the South African insurance industry. The paper argues that for the most part microinsurance in South Africa consists of funeral insurance, although the author provides an account of the emergence of a range of microinsurance products that are targeted at household enterprises, including hire-purchase insurance.
