摘要

摘要本研究考察了小额信贷对男性和女性时间分配结果的影响，以了解小额信贷与妇女赋权之间的关系。我们几乎没有发现小额信贷与赋予妇女权力之间存在联系的证据，因为妇女继续将大部分时间花在有工资和非市场工作上；作为信贷集团的一员并不能改变这一现实。另一方面，参与家庭中的男性成功地将工作时间重新分配给了自营职业，这表明，尽管该计划针对的是女性，但其真正的受益者是男性。

Hitting the Target, Missing the Point? Microcredit and Women Empowerment in Rural India

ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of microcredit on time allocation outcomes for men and women in order to understand the relationship between microcredit and women’s empowerment. We find little evidence of a link between microcredit and women’s empowerment as women continue to spend most of their time in wage and non-market work; being part of a credit group fails to change this reality. On the other hand, men in the participating households have succeeded in reallocating their work hours toward self-employment, suggesting that, though the program is targeted at women, its real beneficiaries are men.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
