Too Long; Didn't Read
The current population of the world has surpassed the 7 billion touchstone. At the same time, infrastructure needed to sustain the population is not progressing at a similar rate. In fact, it is stagnant! Even today about 2 billion people live bereft of financial services- they do not have any bank account. Women alone make up 55% of this unbanked population. In my country India, about 21% of the population (total population of India at the moment is 1.2 billion) is unbanked. Some of them say that they do not have a bank account because they earn too less or because they are denied to do so by the financial institutions.
