Abstract: Vulnerability is today identified as a major cause of poverty and underdevelopment. Microfinance arises as an efficient solution for risk copying through insurance and saving mechanisms and through the creation of microenterprises. But nature and frequency of the risks actually endured by the poor have to be analyzed to understand the potentialities of microfinance.
