Hardcover. Showing that economic development and public health, often thought of as distinct, are both interdependent and dependent on social and political conditions, this book provides a new appreciation of the close relationship between microenterprise development and health in developing countries. Many of the world's poor earn a living from microenterprises, often outside the formal economy, and international practitioners have recently turned their attention to this underground economy, providing support through group poverty lending and village banking models, but overlooking the potential benefits of linking income generation with public health.

They support their argument further with case studies of innovative programs carried out in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. The book challenges the reader to cross disciplinary and professional boundaries to not only understand the interrelationships between health and income generation but to use available tools to enhance those interrelationships.

Sinopsis

Showing that economic development and public health, often thought of as distinct, are both interdependent and dependent on social and political conditions, this book provides a new appreciation of the close relationship between microenterprise development and health in developing countries. Many of the world's poor earn a living from microenterprises, often outside the formal economy, and international practitioners have recently turned their attention to this underground economy, providing support through group poverty lending and village banking models, but overlooking the potential benefits of linking income generation with public health. This book argues for a conceptual and practical relationship between microenterprise development and household health, nutrition, and sanitation.

To support their framework, the authors look at specific actions for harnessing the power of microeconomic development to improve health and human development. They support their argument further with case studies of innovative programs carried out in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. The book challenges the reader to cross disciplinary and professional boundaries to not only understand the interrelationships between health and income generation but to use available tools to enhance those interrelationships.

Informaci�n sobre el derecho de desistimiento

Derecho legal de desistimiento

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 d�as sin dar ning�n motivo.

El periodo de desistimiento vencer� a los 14 d�as desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesi�n f�sica del �ltimo bien o del �ltimo lote o pieza.

Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electr�nica y env�e una declaraci�n clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a trav�s de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electr�nico).

Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que env�e su comunicaci�n relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.

Efectos del desistimiento

Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de env�o (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de env�o que no sea el tipo de env�o est�ndar m�s econ�mico que ofrecemos).

Podemos hacer una deducci�n del reembolso por la p�rdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la p�rdida es el resultado de una manipulaci�n innecesaria por su parte.

Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a m�s tardar, 14 d�as despu�s de que se nos informe de su decisi�n de rescindir este contrato.

Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utiliz� para la transacci�n inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrir� en ning�n cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.

Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
