Abstract

This study aims to identify the perceptions of micro-entrepreneurs on the benefits of simple financial training provided by microfinance institutions. These perceptions can reflect economic empowerment that has been supplied by the microfinance institution through training. Two hundred and ninety-four questionnaires with open questions can be analyzed using descriptive statistics through frequency analysis. The results of the data analysis show four benefits perceived by micro-entrepreneurs. The four are the ability to distinguish between the needs and wants, the ability to manage daily finances, the motivation to keep saving, and the additional knowledge primarily related to financial records
