financial inclusion of women requires more gender-inclusive financial system

Bringing a large number of women under the ambit of the financial sector needs a more gender-inclusive financial system that can address the demand and supply side obstacles faced by them, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said on Wednesday. Multi-stakeholder and partnership-led approach can address the gap in involving more women in digital financial inclusion, he added.
"Greater women financial inclusion requires a more gender-inclusive financial system that addresses the specific demand and supply sides barriers women face," Kant said.
He was addressing a virtual event to launch a report titled 'The Power of Jan Dhan: Making Finance Work for Women in India'.
