Global Findex database survey data measures the percentage of the population aged 15 and over who own a debit card and have a primary education level or less. The dataset provides a demographic-specific indicator for financial inclusion analysis. It is produced by the World Bank's Global Findex team.
Use Cases
- Analyze correlation between low education levels and debit card ownership rates across countries.
- Model financial inclusion gaps using the 'primary education or less' demographic segment as a key feature.
- Benchmark national performance on the specific indicator of debit card access for populations with limited formal education.
Strengths
- Indicator focuses on a specific, policy-relevant demographic segment (ages 15+, primary education or less).
- Data originates from the authoritative World Bank Global Findex database, a major survey of financial inclusion.
Limitations
- Dataset scope is limited to a single composite indicator without underlying respondent-level data for deeper analysis.
- Unknown sample sizes and survey methodology details for individual country estimates limit statistical assessment.
