Abstract: Abstract Women have a leading role in the allocation and use of microcredit, individually and in Joint Liability Loans, because she is one of the main pillars of the family. This paper analyzes the role of women in microcredit focusing on education and gender gap reduction. Finally, we study the problems and weaknesses of microcredit.
