Abstract

Although it is a factor in financial inclusion and development, the growth of mobile banking in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has nonetheless gone hand in hand with a growing gender gap in financial inclusion. This unexpected consequence of financial digitalisation calls for a rethink of development policies. Facteur d’inclusion et de développement financier, le développement de la banque mobile est, en Afrique subsaharienne (ASS), allé de pair avec une hausse persistante des inégalités entre hommes et femmes dans l’inclusion financière. Cet effet insoupçonné de la digitalisation financière appelle à repenser les politiques de promotion du développement.
