Role of Microfinance in Women's Empowerment

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.

In timp ce subiectul important al abilitarii femeilor prin microfinantare a fost subiectul interesului academic si al practicienilor, Ramchandani examineaza aceste probleme din perspective noi. Aceasta noua lucrare se concentreaza pe modelul Self-Help Group (SHG), un aspect sub-studiat al practicii de microfinantare si se uita atat la comunicatiile rurale, cat si la mahalaua urbana.
