Gold-mining and risk management: A case study from Northern Benin

Pages 192-208 | Published online: 02 Dec 2010
 

Abstract

Gold miners in Northern Benin are exposed to physical risks as well as economic risks of uncertain yields. The interrelatedness of different types of risk, both in their perception and in the coping strategies, will be addressed in this paper. It also challenges theoretical perspectives on risk that assume coherent world-views and highlights processes of communication and group behaviour.
