This book was released on 1996 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Discussion Paper No. 320. Provides separate estimates of the influence of borrowing by both men and women, through three credit programs, on a variety of household and individual outcomes, including school enrollment, labor supply, the asset holdings of women, recent fertility and use of contraceptives, consumption, and the anthropometric status of children. The findings show that credit provided to women is more likely to influence these behaviors than credit provided to men and has a significant effect on the well-being of poor households in Bangladesh.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effects of 2 programs in rural Bangladesh on contraceptive usage and "empowerment" among participating members and others in the community. The Grameen Bank and the BRAC (Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee) were programs involved in "poverty lending" and did not dispense contraceptives. Similarities and differences in programs were described. Surveys were conducted initially in mid-1991 and a follow up 18 months later. The first survey selected random samples from program members and a comparison group of women eligible to join BRAC or Grameen Bank. The follow-up of 96% of the original sample or 1305 married women under 50 years of age included nonmembers from the community. Ethnographic studies were also conducted in 6 villages; these studies emphasized the role of empowerment of women. Control variables were age, type of housing, access to family planning services, contribution to family support, intensity of program participation, and 6 empowerment indicators: status and decision making in the household (purchases and subject to domination and violence), physical mobility and visibility, economic security, ability to interact effectively in the public arena, and participation in nonfamily groups. The analysis involved examination of the effects of participation in credit programs on contraceptive use, specific participation activities, and intermediate variables. The results indicated that contraceptive use was strongly affected by Grameen Bank (59% contraceptive use) programs and less so by BRAC (43% contraceptive use). Nonmembers in Grameen Bank villages had higher contraceptive use than the comparison group by 5 points. Regression analysis with demographic controls confirmed that BRAC membership had an insignificant effect on contraceptive use, and Grameen Bank membership had a significant effect (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Technical Paper No. 295. The progress made by the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in privatizing state-owned enterprises has created millions of new shareholders. But for the citizenry to buy and sell shares, these countries must develop stock markets and related institutions such as brokerages, clearing and settling organizations, and regulatory agencies. This paper examines the role of capital markets in the new market economies of Central and Eastern Europe and to what extent governments in the region should encourage the development of such markets. The authors address questions of whether the capital markets will serve merely as a forum for trading stocks or become a source of new equity capital to help restructure the enterprises of the region and whether governments should take a hands-off approach by letting the necessary institutions develop as they are needed or should actively create stock exchanges and establish the overall legal and regulatory framework.
