The Digital Divide Is a Human Rights Issue: Advancing Social Inclusion Through Social Work Advocacy
The role of technology and importance of access to high-speed broadband has become glaringly obvious during the COVID-19 pandemic. High-speed Internet is a tool people rely upon to conduct the daily business of their life and interact with each other, the economy, and government. However, millions of people in the USA still have no home access to high-speed Internet. Low-income, people of color, older, Native Americans, and rural residents in par…
Financial Capability and Asset Building: A Transformational Practice Framework
The promotion of financial capability and asset building (FCAB) is an important and fitting professional activity for social work, which has long been concerned with the economic well-being of individuals and families. Financial capability is attainable only if we assist clients by helping them to build new skills while simultaneously helping them to connect to economic opportunity structures such as savings, job training, or credit repair progra…

Economic Abuse in the Lives of Women Abused by an Intimate Partner: A Qualitative Study
This article presents qualitative findings of a study that examined the role of financial issues and economic factors in the lives of women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). Eight themes emerged in discussions with women about the ways in which money and economic issues played a role in their experiences of abuse. Taken together, women's discussions clearly support an "economic abuse" dimension of IPV. Implications for safely …
Savings for Survivors: An Individual Development Account Program for Survivors of Intimate-Partner Violence
Survivors of domestic violence often remain in abusive relationships due to limited economic resources, economic dependence on an abusive partner, and economic abuse. Viewing women who have experienced domestic violence as "survivors" suggests that when provided access to appropriate resources, they will seek help and utilize such resources allowing them to increase their stability and potentially escape an abusive partner. Assets have been shown…
Economic Education for Battered Women: An Evaluation of Outcomes
Economic education programs that are intended to improve financial literacy have gained significant attention in recent years as one strategy for promoting social and economic development, especially among poor and disadvantaged groups. The aims of such programs are to increase awareness of financial choices, opportunities, and consequences. The role that poverty and financial matters play in intimate partner violence has also received increasing…
Organizing for Economic Empowerment of Battered Women: Women's Savings Accounts
When describing reasons for remaining with or returning to an abusive partner, many women mention economic dependence on their abuser. Few battered women, especially those who are poor, have the economic resources necessary to live independently. Additionally, battered women are commonly isolated from financial resources lacking ready access to cash, checking accounts, or charge accounts. Creating strategies that address financial well-being is e…

The book systematically analyzes a range of issues, including who chooses to open a micro business, and why; what resources to they bring to their business venture; how well will their venture fare; and what contributes to the growth or decline of their busines…
The Impact of Microenterprise Assistance Programs: A Comparative Study of Program Participants, Nonparticipants, and Other Low‐Wage Workers
Microenterprise has gained attention as a strategy to promote economic well‐being among the poor, but there is relatively little research to suggest whether microenterprise programs work. This study uses existing data to compare three groups: low‐income microentrepreneurs who participated in one of seven U.S. microenterprise assistance programs, low‐income self‐employed workers not attached to microenterprise assistance programs, and low‐income w…
Mortgage Lending and Gender
This article analyzes 1992 data from the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act for the city and county of St. Louis, MO. The primary hypothesis was that controlling for relevant factors, women would be more likely than men to be denied home loans. The findings contradict the hypothesis and suggest that men are slightly more likely than women to be denied conventional mortgage loans. However, the study also found that women with male coapplicants are more …
