However, the gender gap in access and usage of financial services remains pervasive across all the countries in South Asia. Patriarchal societies, low involvement of women in decision making, low empowerment of women, no voice in the family matters are some of the factors influencing women's financial access in the region. Although literature has developed on access to financial services in general, there is not much academic work available on access to digital financial services for women. Gender Bias and Digital Financial Services in South Asia: Obstacles and Opportunities on the Road to Equal Access examines access to financial services to women in general in South Asia and specifically their access to digital financial services.Emerald points.Discrimination in financial servicesSouth AsiaSex discriminationSouth AsiaBusiness & EconomicsIndustriesFinancial ServicesbisacshBankingbicsscAsiafastDiscrimination in financial servicesSex discriminationBusiness & EconomicsIndustriesFinancial Services.Banking.330.95005Arora Rashmi U.1565377UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910793903603321Gender bias and digital financial services in South Asia3834983UNINA
