Developing Areas: A Book of Readings and Research
Exploring the Participation of Women in Financial Cooperatives and Credit Unions in Developing Countries
Participation of women in microfinance institutions (MFIs) is touted to advance development in developing economies. By applying the stakeholder theory, we examine the magnitude of women’s participation across MFIs based on their legal characteristics, that is, cooperatives and non-cooperatives across the following dimensions—organizational size, efficiency, loan size, and gender mix. We find that in the case of the cooperative types of MFIs, inc…
Assessing the Participation of Women in Microfinance Institutions: Evidence From a Multinational Study
Microfinance institutions (MFIs) typically offer small credit services with no collateral to low-income clients, particularly women microentrepreneurs. Evidence suggests that microcredit services are an effective tool for the social and financial empowerment of women and have a significant impact on maternal health, children's education, and sustainable economic growth. With multiple financial institutions offering various microfinance services, …
The Effects of Participation and Resources on Democratic Attitudes: Role of Social Capital in Four Latin and South American Countries
Social capital research in Latin and South American countries has been gravely limited by the absence of valid measures of social capital. This study seeks to create a scale for measuring social capital in the Latin and South American context using exploratory and confirmatory statistical procedures. It also seeks to test the effect of social capital on democratic attitudes in Latin America through structural equation modeling methods. Analysis o…

The book is organized according to the steps i…
A Meta-Analysis of Parent-Involved Treatment for Child Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse in children not only occurs with alarming frequency, it also potentially leads to deleterious consequences for victims. Previous narrative reviews have touted the benefits of including the nonoffending caregiver in child sexual treatment. Objective: A meta-analysis is conducted to determine the effects of parent-involved treatment in four major child symptom areas: internalizing, externalizing, sexualized behaviors, and posttraumatic…
Teenage fertility and infant mortality: Reply
Geronimus and Korenman challenge the finding that teenage fertility raises infant mortality yet they fail to present the cross-national data necessary to support their arguments. The figures they present differ vastly from the sample and type of data used by Pampel and Pillai yet are in some ways consistent with the conclusion. Pampel and Pillai attempted to test the applicability of broad demographic transition theories of mortality change to ad…
