Explores financial solutions to poverty. We begin by understanding the lives of people living in low-income markets and how they strategize to make the most of their earnings. We then explore inclusive finance as an industry—its suppliers, regulators, and facilitators—and how it has lived up to its reputation as a key strategy for poverty reduction. We examine how the digital world has accelerated financial inclusion, offering up opportunities and challenges for industry actors as well as consumers. The course analyzes a changing industry from a commercial, anthropological, humanitarian, and social service perspectives.
