The U.S. Financial Inclusion Gender Gap

Financial Inclusion

Utilizing systems thinking, we plan to identify the root causes of the financial inclusion gender gap as well as viable, high-impact solutions to increase female access to and understanding of personal finance. We plan to use the comprehensive databases we have through UNC and Kenan-Flagler to answer the following questions among others: 1. Which policy solutions will best address forces such as household decisions, supply and demand factors, regulation and the modern day labor force contributing to a gender gap in finance? 2. How has digital exclusion disproportionately affected Americans from underserved communities and the financial inclusion gender gap? 3. What is gender socialization’s impact on the financial inclusion gender gap? 4. What impact does the financial inclusion gender gap have on women’s long-term quality of life?
