Microfinance is a loan system that offers small business loans to people who can't secure them elsewhere. It was conceived as a liberating financial tool for the world's poor — but some say it can be a source of abuse. We talk to Naly Pilorge, deputy director of the Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights; Sohini Kar, an associate professor of international development at the London School of Economics; and Timothy Ogden, managing director of the Financial Access Initiative at New York University.

It is time to fundamentally reframe the research agenda on migration, remittances, payments and development. Many policymakers in the developing world, and researchers, tend to view migrant remittances as windfall income, rather than as returns on investment, which is how families with migrants tend to see remittances. Migration is thus, among other things, a strategy for financial management in poor households: location is an asset, migration an investment.Some of the most basic questions about remittances and their effects remain inadequately answered, in part because of a blinded research agenda. Asking better questions is a step towards better policies, programs and regulations and, above all, to enable people on low incomes to improve their lives.In this webinar, based on the article “Migration and household finances: How a different framing can improve thinking about migration”, Timothy Ogden discusses some of the new and alternative research questions that emerge from the shift of perspective on remittances – from windfall to return on investment.Speaker:Timothy Ogden is Managing Director of the Financial Access Initiative, a research centre housed at New York University's (NYU) Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service focused on how financial services can better meet the needs and improve the lives of low-income households.>> view presentationChair:Dr Ryan Edwards, Deputy Director, Development Policy Centre, The Australian National University Photo credit: AU/UN Ist Photo/Stuart Price (Flickr CC0 1.0)

The traditional narrative of the American Dream — hard work, steady saving, and a little bit of luck will lead to security today and mobility tomorrow — has all but become an American Myth. Today, insecurity is so pronounced that 92 percent of Americans, when asked to choose between being a little richer or more financially stable, chose stability. But amidst 30 years of wage stagnation and radically decreased mobility, neither has been attainable. In The Financial Diaries, authors Jonathan Morduch and Rachel Schneider track the financial lives of 235 low- and middle-income households to cast a light on the pervasive economic anxiety felt across the country. The individuals they profile — among them a casino dealer, a street vendor, and a tax preparer — challenge popular assumptions about how Americans earn, spend, borrow, and save and suggest new tools the U.S. needs to correct the broader distress of income and wealth inequality. Join New America NYC for a conversation on the growing financial instability Americans face and the policy interventions needed to better support those who need it most.
