Researching microinsurance for African migrants
Pambazuka reader Christiane Ströh de Martínez is looking for information about insurance for migrants. Let us know if you can help.
I am writing you as I am doing some research on formal insurance coverage of death for migrants and their families. Generally, the literature and programmes focus on the remittances receiver. In my research, I understand the migrant and his/her family as a transnational unit and I am looking for formal life and funeral insurance offered to the migrant, either to insure his/her death or the death of family members.
If you know about such kind of insurance or other insurance that is targeted at migrants or institutions providing such insurances, I would be very, very happy to know about it.
If this specific question is not related to your work, I would also very happy to get in contact with somebody with such a specialisation.
