Measuring Financial Inclusion: A project report

Despite significant policy support for financial inclusion, there is little evidence about what has been achieved by way of knowing which households and individuals are financially included, or what is the impact of such inclusion on these persons.

Measurement of financial well-being, a review of the literature

In this paper, we review the literature on what constitutes financial well-being of a
household and how it can be visualised as the outcome of financial inclusion. If financial
well-being can be measured accurately, it can guide both policy makers and financial service
providers on what and where are the gaps in how finance can improve the lives of their
customers.
