Credit to Capabilities: A Sociological Study of Microcredit Groups in India
Sanyal, Paromita (Cornell University, New York)
Credit to Capabilities discusses microcredit and women's empowerment, a hot topic globally in addressing poverty and how to improve the lives of poor women. This is the first sociological study of how microcredit improves women's agency in India, finding that it is the mechanism of group participation and networking, rather than the loan capital itself, that truly empowers women.
