Forty years of development have brought about dramatic changes in the economies of developing countries. Economic growth in some countries has been rapid, resulting in substantial improvements in income and standards of living. Despite these chages however, poverty continues to increase even amongst women. Research has shown that poor women in developing countries bear a responsibility for supporting their households economically. Despite the considerable outreach of microfinance institutions in recent years, many poor women do not have ready access to financial services at a reasonable cost. This publication examines this topic.
