Abstract

Gender in financial inclusion is an evolving field of research. This study uses the World Bank’s Global Findex database, along with probit models, to investigate the presence of gender inequality on financial inclusion and its causes. In the Middle East and North Africa samples, we present new evidence of lower women’s financial inclusion. Being a man, older, well-educated and with a high-income increases the likelihood of being financially included. The findings of this study support policymaker in defining policies to promote financial inclusion in the Middle East and North Africa. Increasing the level of financial inclusion enhances the level of official savings in countries, which in turn promotes development.
性别差异对中东和北非经济上包括(和不包括)妇女的影响
金融包容性中的性别问题是一个不断发展的研究领域。这项研究使用了世界银行的Global Findex数据库以及probit模型,调查了金融包容性中存在的性别不平等及其原因。在中东和北非样本中,我们提供了女性金融包容性较低的新证据。作为一个男人,年龄更大,受过良好教育,拥有高收入,增加了经济收入的可能性。这项研究的结果支持决策者制定政策,促进中东和北非的金融包容性。提高金融包容性水平可以提高各国的官方储蓄水平,从而促进发展。
