Abstract

Implementing suitable protection systems and measures for everyone is one of the aims listed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to achieve considerable coverage of the poor and vulnerable groups. This encompasses safeguarding different life elements, such as health, economic, and social standing. According to the Centre for Poverty and Social Policy (2023), the net safety measures that protect the majority from poverty include the security of fundamental human necessities, that is, food and property such as housing and belongings. The necessity to protect properties, particularly those belonging to impoverished people, is critical since, in the case of a disaster, this group may suffer more damage and hardship. This chapter aims to unveil the concepts of protection of properties for the poor, that is, house and home contents protection through insurance policies and its role in enabling poverty reduction in particular.
