Financial Inclusion In Latin America (2011-2017)

The data come from World Bank Findex database, at country and individual level from 2011-2017. We use data estimate the factors associated with financial inclusion in Latin America considering new information available with a special focus on the role of women. Results show that, in general, Latin American countries have progressed in the last nine years in their efforts to achieve financial inclusion. However, considering each country, they are like those found in other regions, reinforcing the idea that policies that favor financial inclusion should target certain groups such as women and youth.

本数据集源自世界银行全球金融普惠指数（World Bank Findex）数据库，涵盖2011年至2017年的国家与个体层面数据。本研究依托该数据集，旨在评估拉美地区金融普惠程度的相关影响因素，同时纳入最新可得信息，并特别关注女性在其中的作用。研究结果显示，总体而言，过去九年间拉美各国在推进金融普惠事业方面已取得一定进展。但若单独审视各国的发展情况，其表现与其他地区的国家并无显著差异，这进一步佐证了一个观点：旨在促进金融普惠的政策应精准覆盖女性、青年等特定群体。
