The Global Findex database, produced by the World Bank, contains survey data on financial inclusion. This dataset likely contains the percentage of adults aged 15 and over, segmented by education level, who report family or friends as their main source of emergency funds within a 30-day period. The data is sourced from household surveys conducted across multiple countries.
