Microcredit programs have a positive socioeconomic impact on the rural female borrowers of Bangladesh. This study suggests that the microcredit programs do not help the borrowers to develop any entrepreneurial capabilities other than survival. Thus, this paper aims at identifying the factors related to the development of entrepreneurship among rural women through the microcredit programs of providers. A multivariate analysis technique (Factor Analysis) was conducted to identify the factors related to entrepreneurship development. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to identify the relationship between microcredit programs and the development of rural female entrepreneurship in Bangladesh. Results show that financial management skills are the most important factor and have a sign...

This paper investigates the consumption behaviour of borrowers of two major microcredit institutions in Bangladesh and compares that with non-borrowers. Primary data has been collected from borrowers of the Grameen Bank and Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC) operating in three major districts in Bangladesh. Along with borrowers, non-borrowers data has also been collected from non-program village to avoid endogeneity. Control-group method (non-borrowers from non-program villages) has been used to compare the differences in consumption patterns between the two groups. This study analyses the impact of per capita monthly expenditure and other household characteristics on the budget share of eleven items (food and non-food) consumed by borrowers and non-borrowers. Results from th...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- In a move to increase child health and nutrition in Bangladesh, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and Dubai Cares, the UAE-based philanthropic establishment launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop and implement in Bangladesh a school feeding program to address the needs of low-income families. Limited access to adequate nutrition and education co-exists widely across Bangladesh, especially in high food-insecure areas such as flood- affected and remote rural regions where children live on a diet which is deficient of energy, protein and micronutrients. Nutritious school meals encourage poor households to send their children to schoo...

Bangladesh is a Southeast Asian developing country that has been experiencing a constant GDP growth of over 5% for the last decade. This growing trend in the economy can largely be attributed to the massive growth in the private sector, among whose banking industry has been the largest. With the mushrooming growth for the last 15 years, the banking industry has turned out to be one of the most competitive service industries in Bangladesh today. In order to attract the target customers and compete successfully, it is imperative that banks are aware of the factors customers consider important in selecting a bank. This study was carried out with the goal of evaluating the general pattern of preference for different kinds of banks by different types of customers and to identify the relative...

WASHINGTON -- The garment industry and microcredit have helped bring about a major social revolution in Bangladesh, empowering women in this predominantly Muslim nation. For many years I have been trying to address the issue of poverty through microcredit -- small, collateral-free loans to the poor. The results have been most encouraging. In Bangladesh alone, more than 7 million borrowers, 97 percent of them women, have changed their lives and those of their families as a result of these loans.
Poverty and fertility rates are declining, child and maternal mortality rates are dropping, universal primary education now exists, girls outnumber boys in secondary schools in many areas and women finally outlive men.
