Microfinance does have its merits. It provides one of the only means for women in certain societies to establish a self-sufficient lifestyle. It is also overwhelmingly used to the benefit of both men and women as the only way to provide income stability. For instance, sickness or drought can dramatically disrupt the work cycle of people living on less than a dollar a day, and microcredit can provide a respite...
