Written by distinguishing experts in this field, this book highlights women?s empowerment, which is a process of entrusting power to an individual on the control over resources and decisions. However, these two factors are less effective in a society where religion and cultural dominance is high. The book sheds light on the social security measures undertaken by the government aiming to the right to work helped women who are bounded by social restrictions. Over time there is a shift in rural occupational structure towards non-farm activities, which is largely distress driven self-employment. Access to credit is a great source to provide self-employment that develops self-esteem among women and uplift their position. The book highlights the discrimination against women entrepreneurs in access to credit led to gender biased entrepreneurial society. Association with self-help groups (SHGs) has made women more socially empowered. SHG members help them to change their life in a positive manner through micro-entrepreneurial activities. The book has emphasized on the role of microfinance, which has served the poor to become financially self-reliant. It is observed that for second generation borrowers, the impact of microfinance seems to fizzle out, where MFIs who are gaining efficiency are diverting their objective of servicing poor, signalling a sign of mission drift. 606 $aMacroeconomics 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aIndustrial sociology 606 $aWomen 606 $aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W32000 606 $aPublic Finance$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/611000 606 $aEntrepreneurship$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514000 606 $aSociology of Work$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22240 606 $aWomen's Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35040 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aIndustrial sociology. 615 0$aWomen. 615 14$aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics. 615 24$aPublic Finance. 615 24$aEntrepreneurship. 615 24$aSociology of Work. 615 24$aWomen's Studies. 676 $a331.40954 702 $aNeogi$b Chiranjib$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBhandari$b Amit Kumar$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGhosh$b Sudipto$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910280813903321 996 $aWomen's Entrepreneurship and Microfinance$92215717 997 $aUNINA
