Microfinance and job creation: A social performance assessment of a new loan delivery mechanism, Bai Tushum Kyrgyzstan
24

Bai Tushum launched and tested a small-and-medium-sized Enterprise loan delivery mechanism to see if such targeted mechanism would have a positive impact on the number of jobs created. The social performance assessment compared several clients groups namely those who received loans under new delivery channels and those who did not. 1) We find a small weak effect of increase in loan size on job creation, the effect is not always significant. 2) We find a negative effect of client exit on job creation. 3) Other factors such as type of sector are influencing job creation.
