Produktbeschreibung
This book is drawn from the PhD work of the author. Poor are though referred to as a homogeneous group of people deprived from the basic means of living; they actually vary based on severity of deprivation, asset holding and kind of intervention that can help them overcome poverty. Microcredit is a home grown solution of the developing countries to the problem of poverty. This innovative financial service is designed particularly for the poor with the particular objective of poverty alleviation. This book, based on the field data collected from the microcredit borrower women of the rural and peri-urban areas of Bangladesh, reveals the outcome of borrowing and using microcredit on income enhancement and gender empowerment in their households. Although microcredit, poverty and gender empowerment are widely researched and talked about issues, this book sheds light on the differences that the women of different poverty groups have experienced with regard to poverty condition and gender relation within their households as a result of their involvement in the microcredit program. Hence, the book is expected to add a new dimension to the discourse of microcredit and poverty alleviation.
