Description:
Climbing obesity rates, a continuously growing population, and increased costs for diagnostic testing show that the cost of healthcare will continue to be a hot button issue. Join this discussion on how we ration our healthcare resources and what principles guide our collective thinking. Despite decades of talk of improving efficiency and thus lowering cost nothing has happened to reduce expenditures. What role can you play in this dialogue?
No Reservation Required. This event is free and open to the public

Micro Finance in India: Contributions, Challenges and Critiques

MacNeil Center of Early American Studies

Issues surrounding microfinance have acquired an important place not only in the lives of the poor but also on the political and social scene in India and around the world. How do we understand the challenges facing microfinance? What are the results of India’s experiment with ‘branchless banking’? What are the impacts of for-profit banks involved in microfinance? What is the experience of the largest sex workers union in India in adopting microfinance for its members? Is microfinance contributing or challenging gender empowerment? What is the connection between microfinance to the Egyptian revolution? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in the course of this conference.
