Abstract

This article explores the link between financial inclusion and quality of life in Morocco using Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) on a sample of 120 individuals. Financial inclusion is analyzed through its three dimensions: access, use, and perceived quality. Results show that the first factorial dimension, explaining nearly 78% of the variance, is shaped by effective use, service quality, and education/personal development, demonstrating that inclusion depends more on appropriation than on simple access. The second dimension, representing 45% of the variance, underlines the crucial role of trust in financial institutions, where transparency and institutional relationships determine the depth of inclusion. Variables related to poverty and inequality reduction are weakly discriminant, suggesting impacts are mostly macroeconomic and long-term. The study reinforces the multidimensional nature of financial inclusion, highlighting often neglected variables such as trust and financial literacy, while stressing the need for policies focused on quality and financial education to achieve meaningful and sustainable inclusion in Morocco.
