Abstract

El acceso al sistema financiero ha mostrado tener efectos positivos sobre los hogares pobres. Al darles acceso a las mujeres al sistema bancario, se podría esperar un aumento en sus activos psicológicos y físicos y, por tanto, en los instrumentos que fomentan el empoderamiento, entendido este como la toma de decisiones en sus hogares y su comunidad. Esto puede generar impactos sobre variables de bienestar a nivel individual, del hogar y de la sociedad. Usando las bases de datos de la evaluación del programa colombiano de transferencias condicionadas Familias en Acción, se investigan los impactos de la bancarización sobre el empoderamiento de las mujeres aprovechando la apertura de cuentas de ahorro para las beneficiarias en 2009. No se encuentra impacto de la bancarización en el empoderamiento femenino a nivel del hogar, pero sí a nivel social con respecto a la participación en organizaciones de la comunidad.
