The document discusses microfinance and its role in empowering women. Microfinance provides financial services to low-income clients through mechanisms like self-help groups. It aims to increase women's income, access to markets, and participation in household decisions. Studies show microfinance contributes to women's empowerment through increased self-confidence, participation in community and political activities, and decision making power within the household. However, microfinance alone cannot alleviate poverty and programs must address challenges like reinforcing traditional gender roles and increasing women's time burdens to maximize empowerment benefits.
Microfinance is a general term to describe financial services to low-income individuals or to those who do not have access to typical banking services.
This article analyzes the impact of Microfinance in the different parts of the world including India, Malaysia, Nepal, Bangladesh, Maldives, Africa and others.

What is the relationship between womenâs empowerment and microâcredit programmes? Microâcredit, microâfinance and microâenterprise are now seen as effective poverty alleviation mechanisms, especially for poor women. The 1997 MicroâCredit Summit Campaign aims to ensure that â100 million of the worldâs poorest families, especially the women of those families, receive credit for selfâemployment and other financial and business services by the year 2005.â Many microâcredit schemes specifically target women as they have proven to be very good credit risks with high repayment ratios even with credit at market rates. Proponents argue that as well as increasing womenâs income, there are other benefits: ⢠Improvements in womenâs role in the household (i.e. through the provision of economic resources, a woman may gain a greater voice in expenditure decisions) ⢠Increased confidence for women gained not only through the economic success of their business but also through increased access to community services and collective action with other women. ⢠Changes at the community level in the perceptions of womenâs roles. Yet there is now evidence that questions an automatic relationship between participation in a microâ credit (or microâenterprise) scheme and empowerment. Specific issues include: ⢠Concerns have been raised that given womenâs unequal position within the family, womenâs loans may be ultimately controlled by male family members. ⢠Despite increases in income, many participants report an increased overall workload, as there is no respite from their domestic responsibilities.

Microfinance for Women Empowerment through SHGs A Reviewijtsrd
Â
In India, the emergence of liberalization and globalization in early 1990âs aggravated the problem of women workers in unorganized sectors from bad to worse as most of the women who were engaged in various self employment activities have lost their livelihood. Despite in substantial contribution of women to both household and national economy, their work is considered just an extension of household domain and remains non monetized. In India, Microfinance scene is dominated by Self Help Group SHGs as an effective mechanism for providing financial services to the âUnreached Poorâ, and also in strengthening their collective self help capacities leading to their empowerment. Rapid progress in SHG formation has now turned into an empowerment movement among women across the country. Micro finance is necessary to overcome exploitation, create confidence for economic self reliance of the rural poor, particularly among rural women. Although no -âmagic bulletâ, they are potentially a very significant contribution to gender equality and womens empowerment. Through their contribution to womenâs ability to earn an income, these programmes have potential to initiate a series of -âvirtuous spiralsâ of economic empowerment, and wider social and political empowerment. The results from these self help groups SHGs are promising and have become a focus of intense examination as it is proving to be an effective method of poverty reduction and economic empowerment. Mainly on the basis of secondary data analysis, this paper attempts to highlight the role of Microfinance and SHGs in the empowerment of women in India.

In Bangladesh, micro credit programs have positive socioeconomic impact on the rural women borrowers. However, it is perceived that the micro credit programs help the rural women borrowers to survive only and do not help them to develop entrepreneurial capabilities. Hence, this paper aims at identifying the factors related to the development of entrepreneurship among the rural women borrowers through micro credit programs. A multivariate analysis technique like Factor Analysis was conducted to identify the entrepreneurship development related factors. Structural equation modeling was used to develop a model of micro credit program and the development of rural women entrepreneurship in Bangladesh. Results show that the financial management skills and the group identity of the women borrowers have significant relationship with the development of rural women entrepreneurship in Bangladesh. The experience from the parentâs family of the borrowers and the option limit may also lead to the rural women borrowers to be entrepreneurial.
