The Fallacy of Microfinance Microfinance has been billed by many as a solution to the persistent problem of poverty. This is as result of the fact that it has been hailed to create and expand micro-enterprises and in the process improving the socio-economic situations of those that own the micro-enterprises, who generally tend to be women. However, according to Banerjee, Duflo, Glennerster, & Kinnan (2014), microfinance does not necessarily lead to people rising out of poverty. The argument held by Banerjee, Duflo, Glennerster, & Kinnan (2014) gives credence to the apprehensions some have had about the romanticized stories on microfinance. I ...
