Default Dominican Migrant Women

Money yields power, but not equality, for Dominican migrant women – A UN Study

What do you think? I found this paragraph interesting in terms of women returning to the DR:

"
While the remittances contributed to the alleviation of poverty, the study found that their potential for local development remained limited. Most of the small businesses that women launched upon their return showed very low levels of productivity and profitability, due to the lack of access to credit and technical training programmes."
