| Итог: | This study is concerned to find the impact of microfinance schemes on women empowerment, in
terms of changes in income, savings, socio-economic status, and political participation. The
study was conducted on a sample of 220 women beneficiaries of microfinance services of a
leading MFI operating in Kerala state and the sample was selected by multi-stage cluster
sampling.
The results of the study show that microfinance programs have created a positive impact to its
beneficiaries. Majority of the respondents are engaged in various income generating activities
because of the credit facilities provided by microfinance institutions. This resulted in a
significant change in their income level and savings after participating in microfinance
programs. This has helped them to earn income for their family and also enabled them to play an
important role in their family and also in society. |
