Abstract

Economics
Demand for Health, Healthcare Insurance, Zimbabwe
The study empirically investigated factors that influence the demand for health insurance cover by the public service employees in Zimbabwe. This came in the wake of deteriorating health standards and nonparticipation in health insurance schemes on the part of most of these employees and the generality of Zimbabweans. Understanding these factors explained the reason why most public service employees are not insured. The study used the convenience and judgment sampling procedures. Open ended questionnaires were used to interview 149 government employees at the Mukwati Government offices in Harare to obtain primary data about on the demographic characteristics and perception on health insurance. Given the binary nature of Health Insurance Participation, the data presentation and analysis were done using descriptive statistics and the probit model. The regression results pointed out that premium paid, employment type, place of residence, access to information, education level and insurance quality are all significant predictors of participation in health insurance schemes. The study recommends that the Government should continuously provide health care information in learning institutions and at workplaces, so that individuals see the need to prepare for catastrophic healthcare expenses. The study argues that, for the health insurance industry to maintain greater involvement in the nation’s educational achievements and productivity stimulating, they should together with relevant financial institutions provide diverse and competitive insurance packages that lure clients to them.
