Impact of credit on the relative well-being of women : evidence from the Grameen Bank - 1998
Examines the impact of credit on women's relative well-being in Grameen Bank's credit programmes. Defines well-being in terms of three sets of capabilities viz. autonomy; control over decision-making within the family; and, relative access to household resources. Hypothesizes that the relative well-being of women and men depends on their respective bargaining power, which in turn depends on three factors viz breakdown position, perceived contribution to the family and perceived self-interest.
