Resumo: | Tanzania is one of the world’s poorest countries. Issues relating to poverty have largely been related with different forms of lack of power and, as such, this thesis presents itself with the goal of better understanding the relations between empowerment and poverty alleviation. It is assumed an empowerment model that, recognizes macroeconomic issues that underlie this problematic, but focuses on the concept of individual empowerment, and distinguishes three basic forms of power: social, institutional and economic. This model is analyzed through the use of both quantitative and qualitative methodology, being that the first focuses more on the impact of business training for small-scale entrepreneurs in Dar-Es-Salaam, while the second centers on a more comprehensive approach to empowerment. The findings suggest the existence of relations between different forms of power and an actual improvement of living conditions, not only based in the access to financial capital or formation of human capital, but also largely based on social capital. |

Questões relacionadas à pobreza têm sido relacionados com diferentes formas de falta de poder e, como tal, esta tese apresenta-se com o objectivo de melhor compreender as relações entre poder e redução da pobreza. Assume-se um modelo de empowerment que reconhece as questões macroeconómicas subjacentes a esta problemática, mas centra-se no conceito de empowerment individual, e distingue três formas básicas de poder: social, institucional e económico. Este modelo é analisado através do uso de metodologias quantitativas e qualitativas, sendo que a primeira foca-se mais sobre o impacto da formação profissional para empresários de pequena escala em Dar-Es-Salaam, enquanto a segunda centra-se numa abordagem mais compreensiva de empowerment. Os resultados sugerem a existência de relações entre as diferentes formas de poder e de uma melhoria efectiva das condições de vida, não apenas com base no acesso a capital financeiro ou formação de capital humano, mas também em grande parte com base em capital social.Bjorvatn, KjetilPereira, Maria João Leitão Simões AreiasuBibliorumMachado, Bruno2014-10-14T17:00:13Z201020102010-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.6/2427enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-12-15T09:38:28Zoai:ubibliorum.ubi.pt:10400.6/2427Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T00:44:06.523333Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
