Abstrakt: Microfinance SHGs have played a significant role in poverty alleviation and economic empowerment of marginalized communities, particularly in developing countries. This systematic literature review sought to identify the many characteristics of self-help group operations contributing to poverty reduction and income generation to understand both the study and practice of microfinance SHG in India. The following three aspects regarding the impact of income generation were covered: Asset creation, economic empowerment of SHG members, and microenterprise development. Papers are found using a specific set of exclusion and inclusion criteria and assessed. This article provides insights based on a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of the literature. The conclusions of this review have implications for policymakers, microfinance practitioners, and researchers on how to improve the effectiveness and reach of Microfinance Self-help Groups in the drive for economic empowerment and sustainable development.
