The Role of Microfinance in Women's Empowerment
A Comparative Study of Rural & Urban Groups in India
Synopsis
While the important topic of women's empowerment through microfinance has been the subject of academic and practitioner interest, Ramchandani examines these issues from brand-new perspectives. This new work focuses on the Self-Help Group (SHG) model, an under-studied aspect of microfinance practice, and looks at both rural communicates and urban slums. Ramchandani presents recent empirical work from India including first-hand field-level case studies, where microfinance plays a key development role in reducing poverty, addressing women's empowerment, and fostering rural economic growth.

What Reviewers Are Saying
Community-based women-centric microfinance institutions can play a very big role in enabling women to realize their own inner strengths by leveraging the power of aggregation, says Ajwani-Ramchandani, but most of the literature and discourse is by international, male bankers. She focuses instead on the work of two women-centric grassroots organizations that have been working towards empowering women in India for over a quarter century. -- Annotation (c)2017 * (protoview.com) *
