Scaling savings: Why serving women is the key
This article shares insights from research in 15 countries on how savings services should be designed and marketed in order to maximize take-up by low income people. It argues that women are an important and distinct segment for micro-savings because of their gendered roles and responsibilities. It outlines the key life-cycle events that low income women save for and argues that financial education is a vital element to product uptake and use.Moser, C.O.N.
