Modeling Financial Inclusion for Women
Modeling Financial Inclusion for Women
While progress has been made in recent years concerning the financial inclusion of women, they continue to lag behind males in the uptake and usage of financial services. As a result, more complete and timely sex-disaggregated data is needed.
Data2X: Women’s Financial Inclusion Data Partnership
In partnership with ConsumerCentriX in Geneva and Andafin in Hong Kong, we are designing an econometric model to gauge the market opportunity for the middle class segments in Nigeria and Kenya to point out where financial inclusion activities are needed most. To do this, we estimate the effects of different parameters on financial inclusion and determine access gaps and the gap between male and female populations to forecast levels of financial inclusion segmented by gender.
