REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Social Justice Give a MicroloanGlobally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. Why do you think that is?
Cassie Clark 4/03/2019 9:09 AMI have often heard that this is true -- that donating to women will benefit more people overall than if you donate to a man. But I really don't know why this is. Perhaps it is because in many cultures, women are given domestic duties and are in charge of looking after whole households, and knowing what every member of their family needs. So maybe helping their whole household improves their daily life and what they see on a day-to-day basis. I'd be curious to learn about more research that could explain why this is.
