Full textData selected for analyses was based on an operational model of empowerment that encompassed indicators of purported empowerment at the personal, family and community levels. The working hypotheses in quantitative analyses are that there are significant differences in income, savings, assets, expenditure, basic amenities, as well as attitudinal and behavioral changes in the rural women before and after their group membership.
The qualitative interviews helped to assess the life conditions of the women as the process of empowerment before and after their participation in self-help group micro-credit program. The qualitative interviews were to corroborate the veracity of reported progress from the survey to shed some light on the specific factors that contributed to their empowerment in line with their present quality of life at personal, family and community levels. Hence, the impact of the program is measured as the difference in the magnitude of a given parameter between the pre-and post-SHG situations by comparing the life condition of members before joining the self-help group to their condition three years after joining.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: According to the Economist, India and China (amongst others countries) are expected to be the leading economies of the 21st century (The Economist, October 2003: 78). Significant FDI has been invested into both these countries - China to a much larger extent than India (2003 - China: US$58 bn; India: US$3.8 bn - Refer to Table 2.2, Table 3.2, and the graph in Appendix 6.4). To the best of the writer's knowledge, there has not been any study comparing the economic and operating environments of these two nations, and the attractiveness of investment in them. The purpose of the project is to conduct a comprehensive study to examine whether equal investment in India would be worthwhile, by comparing the economic and operating environments of India and China. The research methodology included both primary research and secondary data analysis. The primary data were gathered through personal and telephonic interviews, while the secondary data were obtained from books, journals, the financial press, articles, the Internet, and case studies. The interviews comprised a blend of open and closed questions to extract the most accurate responses from interviewees. Six South African companies were interviewed - four operate in India and three operate in China. (One of these companies - SAB Miller operated in both these countries). The companies operating in India were Shoprite Checkers, SAB Miller, Nando's International, and Old Mutual. The countries operating in China were Kumba Resources, SAB Miller, and Barloworld. The research identified several similarities as well as some differences between these Asian nations. In conclusion, the research revealed that China and India are at present seen as the favourite investment destinations by many multinational businesses wishing to expand abroad. Yet both these countries, despite their similarities and the lure of great potential, are very difficult markets to operate in, and require careful planning, analysis and thought before expansion into these countries.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Volgens The Economist sal Indië en China (onder ander lande) na verwagting die toonaangewende ekonomiee van die 21ste eeu wees (The Economist, Oktober 2003: 78). Beduidende bedrae in buitelandse direkte investering is in beide hierdie lande belê - tot 'n baie groter omvang in China as in Indië (2003 - China: VS$S8 miljard; lndië : VS$3,8 miljard). (Verwys na tabeI2.2, Tabc1 3.2 en die grafiek in AanhangseI 6.4.) Na die beste wete van die skrywer bestaan daar geen vergelykende studie van die ekonomiese- en bedryfsomgewings van hierdie twee volke, en die aantreklikheid van belegging by hulle nie. Die doel van die projek is om 'n omvattende studie te onderneem om vas te stel of gelyke investering in Indië lonend sal wees deur die ekonomiese en bedryfsomgewings van lndië met die van China te vergelyk. Die navorsingsmetodologie het beide primere navorsing en sekondere dataontleding ingesluit. Die primere data is deur persoonlike en telefoononderhoude versamel, terwyl die sekondere data uit boeke, joernale, die finansiele media, artikels, die Internet en gevallestudies verkry is. Die onderhoude het bestaan uit 'n mengsel van oop en geslote vrae om die akkuraatste reaksies van onderhoudelinge te verkry. Daar is onderhoude met ses Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappye gevoer - vier doen sake in Indie en drie doen sake in China. (Een van hierdie maatskappye - SAB Miller - doen sake in albei hierdie lande.) Die maatskappye wat sake doen in Indie is Shoprite Checkers, SAB Miller, Nando's Internasionaal en Ou Mutual. Die maatskappye wat in China sake doen, is Khumba Resources, SAB Miller en BarloworId. Die navorsing het verskeie ooreenkomste asook sommige verskille tussen hierdie Asiatiese nasies geidentifiseer. Ten sIotte, die navorsing het onthul dat vele multinasionale ondernemings wat graag in die buiteland wil uitbrei, China en Indie as die jongste beleggingsbestemmings oorweeg. Tog is albei hierdie lande, ondanks hulle ooreenkomste en die lokmiddel van groot potensiaal, baie moeilike lande om in sake te doen. Dit vereis versigtige beplanning, ontleding en denke voor daar na hierdie lande uitgebrei word.

Le chapitre 4 procède à une analyse des déterminants du financement agricole en Inde. En revenant sur la crise microfinancière 2006 en Andhra Pradesh, le chapitre 5 complète nos analyses économétriques par une analyse des acteurs, de leurs motivations et de leurs contraintes afin de mettre à jour la dimension politique de la construction microfinancière.
La conclusion explicite la notion de construction donnée en intitulé. L’élaboration des services microfinanciers, leurs diffusions sur le territoire indien ainsi que leurs utilisations, détournements et réappropriations produisent la construction spatiale de la microfinance.

Full textThe thesis revolves around the physical, social and economic analysis of the landscape of two Himalayan villages in Uttarakhand, India: of Darkot and Sharmoli with respect to the core Munsiyari which exhibits administrative, market and tourism functions. Sharmoli is located near the core while Darkot is situated at a distance of 7 kms. and at a lower height than Sharmoli. The villages are inhabited by Bhotias (scheduled tribe as well as high-caste Hindus), Thakurs (high-caste Hindus) and lower-caste (scheduled castes) people. Around 173 families belonging to different castes are surveyed in the two villages. Bhotias used to practice trade with Tibet and the other two castes were their subordinates, but after 1962 with the stoppage of trade and transfer of Bhotias’ land to the tiller Thakurs, a lot of changes have come about in the physical, social and economic life of both the villages. The analysis of the landscape of Darkot and Sharmoli shows that Darkot is a very old village with the presence of elements of caste, religion, hierarchy etc. in its settlement pattern of private and public spaces, while Sharmoli has been constructed in the last 4-5 decades with a lower degree of influence of social and physical factors. The inhabitants of both the villages are adopting modern-design and new types of houses with contemporary construction materials while the uses of rooms are changing as per need. Land in the Sharmoli is used more for tourism-related activities which are absent in case of Darkot, while agriculture is far from subsistence level in both the villages. Majority of the male inhabitants of both the villages are engaged in service sector activities such as labour, business, private jobs etc. while very few are in government services. The average age of the earner in both the villages is beyond 40 years which shows the out-migration of young people to the towns and cities along with the presence of a large number of pensioners, esp. in Darkot. Though the villagers are not poor with regard to per-capita income, yet their earnings are lower (i.e. around $3 per day) because of poor educational qualifications and skills, along with lack of good opportunities in the villages. Women (esp. of Bhotia caste) are engaged in handicrafts while home-stays have come up as a new and good source of income for the families in Sharmoli. Overall, the patron-client relationship between Bhotias and the other two castes in economic terms has been loosened. The social landscape of Darkot depicts more orthodoxy in public space as religion, temple, caste play an important role in Darkot in comparison to Sharmoli where modern cultural and secular festivals dominate the landscape. The situation of women is not very good in both the villages while the caste factions (esp. among Bhotias and Thakurs) are clearly visible. Hence, both Darkot and Sharmoli depict characteristics of tradition and modernity depending upon the social and economic analysis of private and public spaces

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: High levels of gross national savings reduce a country’s reliance and exposure to the vagaries of the global capital market. On an individual level, delaying consumption and providing for future needs and prosperity is a necessary condition to improve or maintain the quality of life. India and China’s gross national savings and, in particular, their household savings rates are higher than those of South Africa. Within the context of sustaining the global competitiveness of these developing countries - each with a burgeoning middle class – there is a need to ensure that policy formulation recognises the consumption and savings needs of this segment of the population. With a view to understanding the reasons why the household savings rates of China and India are so high in comparison to South Africa, this report investigates whether (and to what extent) South African policy makers can learn from China and India in the design of its policy framework to reduce consumption and create a savings culture. This research project is a comparative analysis of the determinants of household savings behaviour in China, India and South Africa, with specific reference to the consumer behaviour of the middle class consumer in each country. The comparative analysis draws on secondary sources such as journal articles, books, completed research and the Internet. While India and China have high household savings rates, this is not as a function of policy reforms that were introduced to encourage saving. Rather, an absence of sufficient financial sector development and a weak social safety net, coupled with a collective household culture and attitude that values saving ahead of consumption, that has resulted in households in India and China, and in particular middle income households, saving to ensure adequate provision is made. In South Africa, the impacts of financial liberalisation and a flawed social security system have resulted in a failure to provide broad based income protection. Increased consumer access to financial services coupled with a coherent social security structure and continued government investment are critical threads that must pervade the reform agenda in South Africa.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hoë bruto nasionale spaarvlakke verminder ’n land se afhanklikheid van en blootstelling aan die wisselvalligheid van die internasionale kapitaalmark. Op ’n individuele vlak is die uitstel van verbruiksbesteding en voorsiening vir toekomstige behoeftes en voorspoed ’n voorvereiste vir die verbetering of handhawing van lewenspeil. Indië en China se bruto nasionale spaarvlakke, en in die besonder hul huishoudelike spaarkoerse, is hoër as dié van Suid-Afrika. Binne die konteks van die volhoubare wêreldwye mededingendheid van hierdie ontwikkelende lande – elk met ’n ontluikende middelklas – is daar ’n behoefte om te verseker dat beleidsformulering die verbruiks- en spaarbehoeftes van hierdie segment van die bevolking erken. Om te probeer verstaan waarom die huishoudelike spaarkoerse in China en Indië so hoog is in vergelyking met Suid-Afrika, ondersoek hierdie verslag of (in en watter mate) Suid-Afrikaanse beleidvormers by China en Indië kan gaan kers opsteek ten opsigte van die ontwerp van sy beleidsraamwerk om verbruik te verminder en ’n spaarkultuur te skep. Hierdie navorsingsprojek is ’n vergelykende ontleding van die bepalende faktore van huishoudelike spaargedrag in China, Indië en Suid-Afrika, met spesifieke verwysing na die verbruikersgedrag van die middelklas verbruiker in elke land. Die vergelykende ontleding gebruik sekondêre bronne soos joernaalartikels, boeke, voltooide navorsing en die internet. Hoewel Indië en China hoë huishoudelike spaarkoerse het, is dit nie ’n regstreekse uitvloeisel van beleidshervormings wat ingestel is om spaar aan te moedig nie. Dit is eerder ’n gebrek aan voldoende finansiële sektorontwikkeling en ’n swak maatskaplike veiligheidsnet, tesame met ’n kollektiewe huishoudelike kultuur en ingesteldheid wat groter waarde aan spaar heg as aan verbruik, wat daartoe gelei het dat huishoudings in Indië en China, en veral middelklas huishoudings, spaar om genoegsame voorsiening te verseker. In Suid- Afrika het die impak van finansiële bevryding en ’n gebrekkige maatskaplike welsynstelsel gelei tot ’n onvermoë om breedgebaseerde inkomstebeskerming te verskaf. Groter verbruikerstoegang tot finansiële dienste, tesame met ’n samehangende maatskaplike welsynstruktuur en volgehoue staatsinvestering, is kritieke temas wat die hervormingsagenda in Suid-Afrika moet deurvleg.
