"Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Möglichkeit diskutiert, genderspezifischen sozialen Wandel in Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländern über Mikrokreditvergabesysteme anzustoßen. Anhand einer in Mittelägypten durchgeführten Studie mit mehrfach diskriminierten Frauen wird gezeigt, wie Mikrokredite die Akkumulation nicht nur von ökonomischem, sondern vor allem auch von kulturellem und sozialem Kapital im Bourdieu'schen Sinne unterstützen können. Wenn in diesem Kontext eine Veränderung des symbolischen Kapitals gelingt, kann dies zu neuen Wahrnehmungs-, Denk- und Handlungsschemata der Beteiligten und zu Strukturveränderungen auf der Makroebene führen. Die theoretische Modellierung von genderspezifischem sozialem Wandel erfolgt in diesem Artikel entlang empirischer Daten, die von den Autorinnen in Mittelägypten erhoben wurden."

"In this paper the authors will discuss the possibilities of triggering gender specific social changes in newly industrialized and developing countries by micro-loans based on a study conducted in Middle Egypt which dealt with women facing multiple discriminations. As shown by the presented empirical results, micro-loans as part of empowerment measures can support women accumulating economic and particularly cultural and social capital according to Bourdieu's conceptualization. By initiating those developments, symbolic capital represented by the participants' schemes of perceiving, thinking and acting is also changing. It might also cause structural changes on a macro level. Empirical data acquired by the authors in Middle Egypt form the basis for modeling social changes on different levels."
