Zusammenfassung:Microfinance is the provision of financial services to those who are excluded from conventional commerical financial services since most are too poor to offer much - or anything - in the way of collateral. It presents a series of exciting possibilities for extending markets, reducing poverty and fostering social change. This book assesses the role of microfinance in building up economic and democratic capacity of women and thereby enhancing their empowerment in India, with special reference to the state of Kerala, India. Evaluating the performance of Self-Help Groups (SHGs), it tries to identify the factors that contribute to their successul performance and sustainability. It also studies the level of participation of women in SHGs and examines the group dynamics that influence their participation. The extent of participation of the poor in the micro-finance institutions has been analysed as well.
