COVID-19 has surfaced many of the inequities to which people with disabilities have always been vulnerable. Moreover, women with disabilities face even greater risks than their male counterparts. The current article highlights the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women with disabilities in Bangladesh and Nepal from the vantage point of two organizations working directly with women with disabilities in these countries. What is clear is that governments need to take further steps to address this crisis while also implementing programmes and services that promote economic security for women with disabilities and their families. The work done by organizations of women with disabilities is critical for documenting the daily impacts of the pandemic and helping to mitigate its negative effects.
COVID-19暴露了残疾人一直容易受到的许多不平等现象。此外,残疾妇女比残疾男性面临更大的风险。本文重点介绍了COVID-19大流行对孟加拉国和尼泊尔残疾妇女的经济影响,这两个组织直接为这两个国家的残疾妇女提供服务。显而易见的是,各国政府需要采取进一步措施解决这一危机,同时实施促进残疾妇女及其家庭经济安全的方案和服务。残疾妇女组织所做的工作对于记录这一流行病的日常影响和帮助减轻其负面影响至关重要。

This paper presents a model for how the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic output in developing countries can be assessed with a new approach. Existing models lack sectoral granularity in developing countries, which can, however, be obtained through input-output modelling by changing the social accounting matrix to simulate a COVID-19 economy. Results have been estimated for 65 sectors and 141 regions which correspond to the Global Trade Analysis Project’s data. The analyses showed that the average impact in Africa and Asia on industry output is −2.6 per cent and −2.9 per cent, respectively. It is estimated that tourism and services are the most heavily impacted sectors, between −15 per cent and −19 per cent for hospitality, recreation, and other service activities, and between −4 per cent and −7 per cent for transport services. The model is a first attempt at estimating impact at this level of granularity per country and sector, which by triangulation with empirical data can be used to make substantiated management or policy decisions.
本文提出了一个模型,说明如何用一种新方法评估COVID-19大流行对发展中国家经济产出的影响。发展中国家的现有模型缺乏部门粒度,但可以通过改变社会核算矩阵来模拟COVID-19经济,从而通过投入产出模型获得部门粒度。根据全球贸易分析项目的数据,对65个部门和141个地区的结果进行了估计。分析表明,非洲和亚洲对工业产出的平均影响分别为- 2.6%和- 2.9%。据估计,旅游业和服务业是受影响最严重的部门,酒店、娱乐和其他服务活动的影响在- 15%至- 19%之间,运输服务的影响在- 4%至- 7%之间。该模型是第一次尝试估计每个国家和部门在这种粒度水平上的影响,通过与经验数据进行三角测量,可以用来做出有根据的管理或政策决定。

Somalia has a significant place in the livestock sector in the Horn of Africa; livestock trade and export is one of the key economic contributors. Most of the livestock trade happens with the Middle East, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia being one of its biggest importers. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to both massive loss of life and huge economic losses as the result of measures to contain the virus. In June 2020, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia took the decision to restrict the number of pilgrims for the annual Hajj. Impacts resulted in a decline in income from the seasonal Hajj of 80 per cent, though domestically prices of livestock remained stable and local markets were used for livestock sales. This paper, besides highlighting the effects, provides recommendations which could inform strategic planning, humanitarian aid, and resilience building for the livestock value chain in Somalia and the Horn of Africa.
索马里在非洲之角的畜牧业中占有重要地位;畜牧业贸易和出口是主要的经济贡献者之一。大部分牲畜贸易发生在中东,沙特阿拉伯王国是其最大的进口国之一。由于采取了遏制病毒的措施,新冠肺炎大流行已导致大量生命损失和巨大经济损失。2020年6月,沙特阿拉伯王国决定限制每年朝觐的朝圣者人数。受影响,季节性朝觐的收入下降了80%,尽管国内牲畜价格保持稳定,当地市场用于牲畜销售。除了强调影响外,本文还提出了一些建议,这些建议可以为索马里和非洲之角牲畜价值链的战略规划、人道主义援助和复原力建设提供信息。

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only created significant havoc in the world but has also opened doors to new opportunities for women entrepreneurs. The objective of this study is to examine case studies of women entrepreneurs to determine how they have taken advantage of the circumstances offered by COVID-19 to expand their businesses. To gain deeper insights about lived experiences of women entrepreneurs, the study uses semi-structured interviews to identify the strategies women entrepreneurs have adopted during times of social and economic upheaval. The findings indicate that women entrepreneurs responded to this crisis by accessing finance and using their innovative and creative skills to leverage e-commerce, often in the face of economic hardship. This study aims to contribute to policymakers’ and practitioners’ development of appropriate response strategies that focus on strengthening women entrepreneurs in Pakistan.

Youth borrowers improving themselves through endowment loans 青年借贷者通过捐赠贷款提高自己
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-12-01 DOI: 10.3362/1755-1986.20-00009
Rachel E. Gordon
This paper identifies key factors that explain why some borrowers access credit from microfinance institutions earlier in their lives for productive purposes than other borrowers. Productive credit usage facilitates these youth borrowers to break free from the poverty cycle and increase their initial endowment levels. Examining the differences between borrowers, the results indicate that youths borrowing for investment purposes have higher levels of all types of education. These youth borrowers are more likely able to break a consumption-only borrowing cycle to improve livelihoods. The findings suggest and promote future policy improvements for youth borrowers that intersect education with microlending.
本文确定了一些关键因素,这些因素解释了为什么一些借款人比其他借款人更早获得小额信贷机构的生产贷款。生产性信贷的使用有助于这些青年借款人摆脱贫困循环,提高他们的初始禀赋水平。考察借款人之间的差异,结果表明,以投资为目的的年轻人借贷的所有类型的教育水平都较高。这些年轻的借款人更有可能打破只消费的借贷周期,以改善生计。研究结果建议并推动未来针对青年借款人的政策改进,将教育与小额贷款结合起来。

Mobile money adoption is gradually bridging the financial inclusion gap in access to financial services between higher- vs. lower-income populations in many developing countries, including Ghana. However, levels of adoption differ within and between countries. Using a nationally representative survey sample of 5,220, this paper examines the determinants of mobile money adoption and use in Ghana and explores how they vary across demographic groups. The probit estimation showed perceived usefulness and social influence as drivers of adoption, while transaction costs inhibit adoption to varying degrees across demographic groups. The major challenges users faced were network failures and high service charges. Measures to enhance mobile network connectivity and liaise with service providers to reduce the service charges would boost adoption and financial inclusion.
在包括加纳在内的许多发展中国家,移动货币的采用正在逐步缩小高收入人群与低收入人群在获得金融服务方面的金融包容性差距。然而,国家内部和国家之间的采用程度各不相同。本文使用5220个具有全国代表性的调查样本,研究了加纳移动货币采用和使用的决定因素,并探讨了它们在不同人口群体中的差异。probit估计显示,感知有用性和社会影响力是收养的驱动因素,而交易成本在不同人口群体中不同程度地抑制收养。用户面临的主要挑战是网络故障和高昂的服务费。加强移动网络连接并与服务提供商联络以降低服务费用的措施将促进采用和金融包容性。

Digitizing social assistance for the poor has been proven to increase financial inclusion. The Indonesian Government initiated reform for non-cash social assistance disbursement in 2016. Evidence-based policy approach is an effective technique for informing the government on appropriate new regulations. A pilot project involving 4,295 participants was conducted to evaluate the following payment systems: debit card, mobile money, QR code (quick response), and NFC (near field communication). Beneficiaries utilized the funds for cash withdrawals and food purchases at bank agents. Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed in the analysis. The government decided to use debit card with multiple wallet features. A new regulation was made to support the implementation in 2017, and by the end of 2019, the government provided more than 12 million new savings accounts to the poor. Potential future improvements are proposed for the sustainability of the solution, which include a disbursement providers’ revenue model, broader financial services involvement, bank agents’ inventory system, and optimizing the latest innovations.
事实证明,对穷人的社会援助数字化可以提高金融包容性。印度尼西亚政府于2016年启动了非现金社会援助支付改革。基于证据的政策方法是向政府通报适当新法规的有效技术。进行了一个涉及4295名参与者的试点项目,以评估以下支付系统:借记卡、移动货币、二维码(快速响应)和NFC(近场通信)。受益人利用这笔资金在银行代理处提取现金和购买食品。分析采用定量和定性方法。政府决定使用具有多种钱包功能的借记卡。2017年制定了一项新的法规来支持实施,截至2019年底,政府为穷人提供了1200多万个新的储蓄账户。为解决方案的可持续性提出了未来的潜在改进,包括支付提供商的收入模式、更广泛的金融服务参与、银行代理的库存系统以及优化最新创新。

Financial linkages and economic wellbeing: the case of microfinance cooperatives in Tanzania 金融联系与经济福祉:坦桑尼亚小额信贷合作社的案例

This paper examines the relationship between the economic wellbeing of microfinance cooperatives’ (MFCs) clients and financial linkage intensity, moderated by multiple linkages and linkage duration. It applies regression models on data from 575 clients of 20 MFCs which were involved in financial linkages with formal financial institutions (FFIs). Findings revealed that the MFCs clients’ income is positively associated with linkage intensity. However, multiple linkages and linkage duration weakened the association between linkage intensity and MFCs clients’ income. This could be an outcome of high costs of maintaining multiple linkages, unfavourable conditions and terms of loans from multiple FFIs as well as high costs of lock-in among MFCs with a long-term relationship with FFIs. The costs trickle down to MFCs clients and worsen their economic wellbeing. MFCs need to avoid borrowing from multiple FFIs at the same time and linkage duration which may lock them in. They should also use their long-term relationship with FFIs to bargain for better terms.
本文考察了小额信贷合作社(mfc)客户的经济福祉与金融联系强度之间的关系,并受多重联系和联系持续时间的调节。它将回归模型应用于20家小额信贷公司的575名客户的数据,这些客户与正规金融机构(ffi)有金融联系。研究发现,mfc客户的收入与联动强度呈正相关。然而,多重联系和联系持续时间削弱了联系强度与mfc客户收入之间的关联。这可能是由于维持多种联系的高成本、来自多个金融机构的不利条件和贷款条件以及与金融机构有长期关系的小额信贷公司之间的高锁定成本造成的。这些成本会渗透到跨国金融公司的客户身上,并恶化他们的经济状况。金融中介公司需要避免同时向多个金融中介机构借款,以及可能将其锁定的联动期限。它们还应该利用与金融机构的长期关系,争取更优惠的条款。

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) constitute a support mechanism for microenterprises in Mexico by designing programmes that are accessible to this type of business. This article makes a comparative analysis of the financing programmes granted by MFIs and commercial banking and in turn, determines the impact of these supports on the results of the microenterprises. By applying non-parametric statistics, the results reveal that MFIs offer loans with smaller amounts, shorter terms, periodic payments, and higher interest rates compared with commercial banking products. Also, it was found that microenterprises that obtained financing from MFIs achieved lower profits than those that acquired resources from commercial banking.

Agency theory plays an important role in explaining the behaviour of managers of microfinance institutions (MFIs). These managers face the same problem of simultaneously satisfying conflicting goals as the managers of for-profit companies. In the case of MFIs, a fundamental conflict occurs as management attempts to balance the organization’s social mission against the organization’s need for financial viability. Our paper investigates this issue. We first develop the goal conflict issue as an agency issue. We then develop quantitative measures of financial stress, wealth of borrowers, and the number of loans in the MFI’s loan portfolio. We use OLS regression to measure the relationship between these variables. The resulting regression equation is highly significant, and the variables in the equation all possess the sign predicted by agency theory.
代理理论在解释小额金融机构管理者的行为方面发挥着重要作用。这些管理者面临着与营利性公司的管理者相同的问题,即同时满足相互冲突的目标。就小额金融机构而言,当管理层试图平衡组织的社会使命与组织的财务生存能力需求时,就会发生根本冲突。我们的论文调查了这个问题。我们首先将目标冲突问题发展为代理问题。然后,我们制定了金融压力、借款人财富和小额金融机构贷款组合中贷款数量的量化指标。我们使用OLS回归来测量这些变量之间的关系。由此得到的回归方程具有高度显著性,方程中的变量都具有代理理论预测的符号。
