Growth Of Employment and Its Determinants in Microfinance Institutions in India: An Application of Error Correction Mechanism
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) play a vital role in India in respect of employment generation. MFIs provide credits to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), Joint Liability Groups (JLGs) and individuals to undertake commercial activities, thereby creates opportunities of employment generation. On the other hand, these MFIs recruits skilled and educated youths as employees in their organizations. This has emerged as a source of employment to the educated youths of India. In this study, effort has been made to see the relationship between the number of employees and three explanatory variables, namely, number of branches, number of clients and Gross Loan Portfolio (GLP) of the MFIs. Time series da has been used in this study ranging from first quarter of 2012-13 to last quarter of 2024-25. Engel-Granger cointegration test and Error Correction Model (ECM) are used to establish the above relationship. The empirical results show a strong and significant relationship between the number of employees and other explanatory variables, implying effective intervention on the part of the government and the monetary authority.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
