Driven out: One village's experience with MFIs and cross-border migration [English]
Throughout Cambodia’s northwest, widespread microfinance debt is pushing families from their homes to find work across the Thai border. In this briefing paper “Driven Out: One Village’s Experience with MFIs and Cross-Border Migration”, LICADHO focuses on a single village in Banteay Meanchey province to dig deeper into the link between microfinance debt and migration in Cambodia’s borderlands. Through interviews conducted with remaining family members from 30 households, LICADHO’s researchers found that over indebtedness to microfinance institutions (MFIs) was the primary motivating factor for migration in the village.
