Description:
This research examines how poor women in developing countries bear a significant responsibility for supporting their households economically. The paper focuses exclusively on poor women's access to microfinance mainly because they represent the vast majority of the world's women. Having an impact on them is likely to make the greater difference in reducing poverty which should be an important goal of development policy.
