The role of microfinance in women's empowerment : a comparative study of rural & urban groups in India / Raji Ajwani-Ramchandani. - 1 online resource (xxix, 299 pages).

Includes index.

Includes bibliographical references.

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.
