Financial Inclusion for All: Pathways to Equitable Economic Development provides an in-depth exploration of the mechanisms, challenges, and opportunities associated with building inclusive financial systems. Beginning with the foundation of financial systems and the phenomenon of financial exclusion, the book traces how systemic barriers—social, economic, institutional, and technological—marginalize certain sections of society from mainstream financial services.
The book offers a detailed global perspective supported by international data, explaining advancements in digital finance, microfinance, mobile money, national financial inclusion strategies, and innovations that have enabled millions to access savings, credit, insurance, and payment services. Special emphasis is placed on the role of financial inclusion in achieving Sustainable Development Goals, empowering women, reducing income disparities, enhancing financial stability, promoting entrepreneurship, and strengthening climate resilience.
By integrating theory, global data, and policy analysis, this book serves as a valuable resource for academicians, policymakers, development practitioners, and readers seeking to understand how inclusive finance can drive social equity and economic prosperity.
