Globally, the emerging discourse on gender and just transition is often focused on the potential role of women in the 21st century energy

Drawing upon the data from the recent period, this paper explores the relationship between women’s involvement in microfinance programs and improvement in their empowerment status.

Formal financial institutions (FFIs) in a developing economy often fail to meet the loan requirements of the poor. It is frequently stated that the poor are non bankable. Given this, several models and structures have emerged for making them bankable.

The existing structural nature of women's work (domestic as well as non-domestic) has severe built-in hazards for women (reproductive and otherwise) which no amount of first rate quality of care, total coverage and/or access to health services alone can deal with.

In many developing countries, women's activities, traditionally confined to the household, have changed over time.

The health of the general population as well as specific groups (infants, women, etc) has for long been an important concern for development studies.
