The Poor and their Money
Abstract
This work describes how poor people in developing countries manage their money. It attempts to contribute to the improvement in microfinancing by showing how a study of the poor managing their own money can lead to the designing of better quality financial services. The book is intended for secondary school level and undergraduate training courses in microfinance and development, and has been selected as a text for the microfinance training programme, at The Economics Institute, Colorado.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
