Produktbeschreibung
Today virtually every country has awoken to the call
for gender equality both at workplace and the homes.
Women s issues have altered from a mere call for
voting rights to more fundamental socio-economic
issues. These changes also led to an increase search
for women s development and economic empowerment in
particular. Micro-credit schemes and institutions
which provide soft loans to women have become a
critical tool in development programmes aiming to
empower them. This study therefore investigates
women s economic empowerment in relation to
micro-credit schemes in southern Nigeria. The study
also evaluates the benefits and limitations of
micro-credit as a resourceful means of enhancing
women s economic activities in the labour market and
eliminating poverty among market and rural women.
