Economics Final Year Topic: Gender Differences in Access to Formal Savings Information among Adult Microenterprise Owners

This Economics final year project examines gendered access to information about formal savings among adult microenterprise owners through adult owners in defined business categories recruited without requesting account balances, with a defined comparison that can be adjusted to available access and supervisor guidance.

Why choose this project topic?

The focus on gendered access to information about formal savings among adult microenterprise owners gives the project a specific question and a visible evidence trail. The question focuses on access to information rather than assuming that product ownership is the only measure of inclusion. A bounded design makes it possible to explain what the selected evidence supports without presenting a proposal as a completed study.

Which channels do adult microenterprise owners report using to obtain information about formal savings products?

Agree the business group, savings-information sources and access-barrier categories, the evidence window and the analysis plan with the supervisor before fixing the final title or recruiting participants.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the concepts and population needed to study gendered access to information about formal savings among adult microenterprise owners.
  2. 02Document or measure the proposed evidence from adult owners in defined business categories recruited without requesting account balances.
  3. 03Interpret the evidence using the stated comparison and explain its limits.

A suggested research approach

Ask about information sources, language, access barriers and decision authority; do not collect bank credentials, account numbers or individual savings totals Use adult owners in defined business categories recruited without requesting account balances only after confirming access, eligibility and a workable time window. Describe information channels and reported barriers separately, then compare broad groups only when sample and privacy constraints permit Keep the protocol, exclusions and measurement definitions in an audit trail; discuss missing or contradictory evidence instead of treating it as confirmation.

What you will need

  • A safe recruitment plan, ethics approval and a survey that avoids collecting financial identifiers
  • A supervisor-agreed protocol defining gendered access to information about formal savings among adult microenterprise owners and the relevant measures or coding rules
  • A dated evidence log and a plan for confidentiality, permissions and any required ethics review

Keep your project scope clear

The proposed design can describe or compare only the evidence it collects. Reported information access does not establish savings behaviour, financial wellbeing or discrimination by a provider. Do not extend a local, simulated or self-reported result to a wider population without a design that supports that inference.
