Micro-Credit and the Economics of Developing Countries
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the concept of micro-financing and micro-credit and the impact it has on the developing nations of the world. The primary mission of most micro-lending programs is to offer production credit to the land-less, rural poor. Many of the programs rely on cooperative credit exchange and often rely on those cooperative partnerships to serve as a form of peer monitoring as a substitute for collateral. Micro-credit programs extend small loans to poor people for self-employment projects that generate income, allowing them to care for themselves and their families. In most cases, micro-credit programs offer a combination of services and resources to their clients in addition to credit for self-employment. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
