The numerous limitations faced by women, particularly in rural areas, have compelled them to look for alternative options in other places. For example, in Latin America, a great part of the migrations from rural areas during the 1960s and 1970s was made up of women seeking better opportunities as maids in cities (Villarreal 1996). In recent decades, rural women have continued to migrate to urban areas and, besides domestic work, they are also employed in export assembly plants or maquilas, particularly in Central America (Vargas-Lundius 2007, 221-27). With the liberalization of markets, small farmers from developing countries have not only seen themselves forced to compete with imports from a highly productive and subsidized agriculture sector. | What is the impact of MICROFINANCE on poor people TECHNICAL REPORT A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF EVIDENCE FROM SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA 2010 STEWART R VAN ROOYEN C DICKSON K MAJORO M DE WET T ISBN 978-1-907345-04-3 Main title Sub title Section What is the impact of microfinance on poor people A systematic review of evidence from sub-Saharan Africa TECHNICAL REPORT Authors This report should be cited as Contact details Ruth Stewart EPPI-Centre Social Science Research Unit Institute of Education University of London and Centre for Language and Culture University of Johannesburg Carina van Rooyen Department of Anthropology and Development Studies University of Johannesburg Kelly Dickson EPPI-Centre Social Science Research Unit Institute of Education University of London Mabolaeng Majoro Department of Anthropology and Development Studies University of Johannesburg Thea de Wet Department of Anthropology and Development Studies and Centre for Language and Culture University of Johannesburg Stewart R van Rooyen C Dickson K Majoro M de Wet T 2010 What is the impact of microfinance on poor people A systematic review of evidence from sub-Saharan Africa.
