文摘

Employs data for India and examines the impact of gender on financial inclusion. Also explores the channels which influence the attitude toward finance by gender. Households with female heads are less inclined to access formal finance. Educational and wage discrimination explain access to finance for such households. Political and social factors are much more germane in explaining the use of finance.
