Assessment of Womens Financial Inclusion In Nigeria

The study examines the gender gap in financial inclusion in Nigeria and offers recommendations to address it. It finds that the most important drivers of financial exclusion for both genders are lack of income, education, and trust in financial service providers (FSPs), and that these factors also drive the gender gap. The study recommends focusing on increasing women's income, education, and trust in FSPs to close the gender gap and improve financial inclusion. It also suggests that stakeholders should collaborate to understand and address the commercial viability of serving financially excluded women.
