This book was released on 2007 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the relationship between financial sector development and progress in reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It assesses the contribution of countries' financial sector development to achieving the MDGs. The focus is on the relationships between financial development and economic welfare and growth, and the following four MDG-themes: Poverty, Education, Health, and Gender Equality. In doing so, the book reviews the theoretical channels, surveys existing empirical evidence - both cross-country and case study evidence, and provides new evidence. Financial Sector Development and the Millennium Development Goals finds that financial development is an important driver for economic welfare in that it reduces the prevalence of income poverty and undernourishment. In addition, new evidence is provided of a positive association between financial development and health, education, and gender equality.

This book was released on 2020-04-25 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a collection of chapters that examine various dimensions of development. Between 2000 and 2015, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) remained the overarching development framework that governed the international development community. After a decade and half of commitment to the MDGs, the framework is widely considered a success, although progress reported across countries has been uneven. The new overarching international development framework may not be successful or present the best opportunities for the desired global change without a better understanding of factors that contributed the most or the least to the attainment of the MDGs. The chapters presented in this book provide discussions and insights into understanding these factors better. They represent a collection of scholarship that address some of the important questions in international development. They adopt a wide range of research methods to provide insight into what works, and what does not, in promoting the stipulated development goals.

Download or read book Can Commercially-Oriented Microfinance Help Meet the Millennium Development Goals? Evidence from Pakistan written by Heather Montgomery and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current emphasis in the microfinance industry is a shift from donor-funded to commercially sustainable operations. This article evaluates the impact of access to microloans from the Khushhali Bank -- Pakistan's first and largest microfinance bank which operates on commercial principles. Using primary data from a detailed household survey of nearly 3,000 borrower and non-borrower households, a difference in difference approach is used to test for the impact of access to loans. Once the results are disaggregated between rural and urban areas there is a positive impact in rural areas on food expenditure and on some social indicators such as the health of children and female empowerment. These impacts are observed even in very poor households. These findings suggest that commercially-oriented microfinance and the millennium development goals are not incompatible, given a supportive environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial inclusion through microfinance has become a powerful force in improving the living conditions of poor farmers, rural non-farm enterprises and other vulnerable groups. In its unique ability to link the existing extensive network of India’s rural bank branches with the Self Help Groups (SHG), the National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has covered up to 97 million poor households by March 2010 under its Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme. Policy-makers have proclaimed SHGs as ‘‘the most potent initiative ... for delivering financial services to the poor in a sustainable manner." This book presents a comprehensive scientific assessment of the impact of the Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme (SBLP) on the member households. The book discusses wide-ranging topics, including the rural financial sector in India, the history and structure of the SBLP, the impact methodologies, the economic and social impact of microfinance, its role in building assets while reducing poverty and vulnerability, the role of women and their empowerment, training and accumulation of human capital and policy implications of lessons learned. The empirical results show that vulnerability of the more mature SHG members declines significantly. Vulnerability also falls for villages with better infrastructure and for SHGs that are formed by NGOs and linked by banks. The results strongly demonstrate that on average, there is a significant increase in the empowerment of the female participants. The economic impact of SBLP is found to be the most empowering. Greater autonomy and changes in social attitudes also lead to female empowerment. The investigation further reveals that training (especially business training) has a definite positive impact on assets but not on income. The impact of training can be improved through better infrastructure (as in paved roads), linkage model type, and the training organiser. Bridging the gap in the existing literature and between academics and practitioners, this book moves beyond the usual theoretical issues in the impact assessment literature and draws on new developments in methodology. It will be of interest to academics, development practitioners and students of economics, political science, sociology, public policy and development studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the role and effect of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) with different dimensions. It is being supported with strong empirical evidence into various parameters of MFIs directed towards inclusive finance and the transformation journey of livelihoods of its beneficiaries. It also incorporates empirical evidence with the perception of both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. Starting its journey toward the path of comprehending how MFIs make their footprint among the excluded population in the selected areas, it incorporates the different outcomes of MFI lending like credit utilisation patterns, income generation, and employability. As financial stability helps to break out the vicious cycle of poverty, this book emphasises the self-dependent element for the beneficiaries and their households. It addresses the important issue of the female counterparts in society. It shows how the MFIs work actively to generate female empowerment from multiple dimensions among the selected communities. It addresses key issues to consider for inclusive policy formulation, especially for backward communities in the backward areas and gives a realistic scenario of the MFI activities, their interactions with the respondents, the various outcomes, and areas for further developments, etc. This book is beneficial for academicians, researchers, and policymakers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Sociology - Miscellaneous, University of Freiburg (Global Studies Program, Institute fur Soziologie.), language: English, abstract: [...] The poverty question is a global phenomenon. It is perhaps one of the greatest challenges facing Mankind today, especially in most parts of the developing world. This Perhaps explains why the eradication of poverty was listed as the first of the eight issues of the millennium development goals. The problem of poverty is more disturbing giving the fact that there is abundant and enormous wealth in the world to adequately meet the needs of every one. Poverty may be defined as a condition of lack and inability to meet adequately the basic needs of life such as Shelter, food, education and health care. Similarly, according to a United Nations statement: Poverty is a denial of choices and opportunities, a violation of human dignity. It means lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society. It means not having enough to feed and clothe a family, not having a school or clinic to go to; not having the land on which to grow one’s food or a job to earn one’s living, not having access to credit. It means insecurity, powerlessness and exclusion of individuals, households and communities. It means susceptibility to violence, and it often implies living on marginal or fragile environments, without access to clean water or sanitation.(UN,2008 quoted in Ucha,2010). 2 In other words, the problems of poverty is more worrisome in Sub-Saharan Africa with 47.5% of the people living on less than $1.25 and 70% living on less than $2 per day in Sub-Sahara Africa (World Bank, 2008).The figure may have become worse considering the drought that hit parts of horn of (East) Africa in 2011 and the problem of maladministration or poor governance bedeviling the region. In Nigeria the high level of corruption, poor leadership has contributed to exacerbate the problem of poverty. Ucha, 2010 puts it thus: “Unemployment, corruption, non diversification of the economy, income inequality, laziness and a poor educational system can be considered to be some of the key factors contributing to poverty in Nigeria”(p.46). Given the fact that Nigeria is a country with rich human and natural resources, it is disturbing that majority of her citizens are still very poor. The government has over the years formulated a lot of programs and policies geared towards poverty reduction; however it remains a controversy whether those programs and policies have actually achieved their desired objectives.[...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the last four decades, microfinance has been deployed as a poverty reduction strategy (PRS) all over the world. This trend has grown fast especially in the Global South, and is associated with mainstream finance, public policy, commercial banks and development strategies. Its integration with the United Nation's microfinance year, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs and SDGs) and Nobel prizes, has put a substantial emphasis on microfinance and inclusive finance. Researchers and policy practitioners now place a renewed emphasis on linking microfinance with the macroeconomy. However, despite its vast expansion, advocates across the globe are acknowledging its shortcomings and criticisms. Despite the wide global appreciation for microfinance, and the extensive literature on this topic, it is astonishing to discover that there is little empirical support for its gains and only limited studies have assessed its role in financial development, economic growth, or productivity at a country and macro level. This study investigates trans-national microfinance's impact on an integrated economy with three groups of data sets: 77, 38 and 25 microfinance pioneering countries. It assesses the impact of microfinance on factor productivity, factor accumulation, financial development and GDP. It checks robustness with income inequality/welfare and other socio-economic variables. A number of tests and techniques are conducted, including endogeneity, correlation-coefficient matrix, unit root, initial GDP values incorporation, Ordinary Least Squared and Two Stage Least Squared tests. The study differentiates between GDP level and GDP growth. The study distinguishes endogenous and exogenous growth and highlights the importance of factor-driven and productivity-driven growth. Findings suggest that microfinance is positively correlated with GDP level and total factor productivity (TFP); and negatively related to GDP growth. There is a stronger impact with lagged variables. The microfinance instrument exhibits slightly different impacts on 25 MF pioneering countries compared with the other, wider sets of countries. In this study, microfinance showed a non-significant impact on income inequality (measured with the Gini index) and on accumulated factors (human capital and industrial capital). This indicates a difference in qualitative and quantitative productivity. Microfinance and GDP possess a cause-effect relationship. Findings apparently indicate a non-linear concave relationship (impact on GDP increases at a decreasing rate), partially consistent with Solow's growth model and conditional convergence. Overall, the findings demonstrate the direct and indirect impact of microfinance. The research opens a new door for macro and public policy implications. The study discusses both the welfare and commercial aspects of microfinance. Certain renovations and a comprehensive financial model could provide more efficient allocation of resources, reduction of informational asymmetries and diversification of investors' portfolios.
