The Other Financial Crisis: Growth and crash of the microfinance sector in India

Christa Wichterich

Development, 2012, vol. 55, issue 3, 406-412

Abstract: Christa Wichterich examines the integration of women into the financial market and the role borrowers of microcredits play. She argues that lending to women and microcredits as a main source of income has brought a financialization of everyday life to Indian villages resulting in a feminization of indebtedness.
