Women's Involvement In The National Capital Madani Mekaar Syariah Cooperative Institution

Abstract

This study examines women's involvement in the Permodalan Nasional Madani (PNM) Mekaar Syariah cooperative in Loli Oge Village. It aims to (1) explore women's economic cooperation through PNM and (2) understand their participation as members. Using Pierre Bourdieu's Structuralist Constructivism theory, this qualitative research gathered data via observation, interviews, and documentation from five informants (three members and two officers). Results show the cooperative helps women access capital easily, but this can foster dependency, limiting efforts to find alternative funding. Some members manage funds independently, while others rely heavily on the cooperative and face challenges like arrears. Despite obstacles, the cooperation holds promise for future success.
