Women Social Inclusion through Micro Financing in Case of Pakistan

In developing or "third-world" countries, women's social inclusion is a big problem. This is because women are such an important part of society in the modern era of globalization. In the majority of patriarchal societies, women are treated as subordinates with no power. Another significant social issue in Pakistan is the social integration of women into mainstream society. Investigating women's emancipation, social inclusion, and demographic factors through microfinance is the study's aim. Using a structured questionnaire with binary and categorical replies, information was gathered from 305 respondents. Information from the respondents was collected simply through random sampling. Advanced statistical approaches were employed to evaluate and interpret the data, which were analyzed using the SPSS-24 version. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the demographic variables, while inferential statistics were used to analyze the other variables related to the objectives. The results of the study demonstrated a relationship between the demographic factors and those that affected their social inclusion. Through microfinance, women are given more power, which has enhanced their participation in economic activities as well as their empowerment in all spheres, including social, cultural, economic, and inclusion in public spheres through the improvement of decision-making abilities.
