Published By: BRAC on eSS | Published Date: October, 24 , 1998This paper addressed two current debates within the female empowerment literature using data from BRAC-ICDDR,B Joint research project at Matlab collected during April-July 1995. The first part explored the relationship between the socioeconomic status of the household and female empowerment and concluded that the two are positively correlated. The second issue that was focused on was the extent that membership in BRAC and borrowing from the organization contributes to empowerment of poor women in Matlab. BRAC`s credit was the key input that was examined closely. [Working Paper No. 28]
