Thesis
Women, credit & development: A case study of the Grameen Bank, Bangladesh
Honours, Murdoch University
1993
Abstract
The study of the role of women in the process of economic development has had a relatively recent history. Using the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh as a case study this thesis will attempt to determine whether ensuring improved access to credit facilities for landless women will provide more equitable growth in the living standards of a developing country's population. Using in-depth survey data and Grameen Bank annual reports, it is concluded that whilst credit cannot be solely relied upon to aid the development process, it does represent a viable option for governments to allow women a greater participatory role in economic development.
