Episode Synopsis "12: What role can fintechs play in tackling the wealth gap and inequality?"

 This episode continues our discussion around financial inclusion. While wealth gaps and inequality are dividers when it comes to income and financial stability, it is sometimes harder to see change when looking at these problems in developed countries. This episode explores key areas of inequality, including bias based on gender and ethnic background, and looks at how fintech can help tackle this issue. We also cover the importance of financial education for young people as a way to spark change.
