The Relationship

The conceptual connection between financial inclusion and quality of life (QOL) can be realized by a two-way relationships. On the one hand, financial inclusion induces QOL, while an improvement in QOL facilitates in generating demand for financial services, on the other hand. Even though several studies seek to find out the role of finance in the well-being of the population (especially human development), this article concentrates on QOL to eliminate the financial attributes of development (as captured by income dimension in Human Development Index). In this sense, this study addresses the research gap in the existing literature by establishing the relationship between financial inclusion and QOL. Specifically, the article attempts to explain the two-way tie-up between the financial inclusion and the QOL in India in the context of Indian states, in general, and West Bengal, in particular. Canonical correlation (CC; a multivariate data analysis technique) is used to estimate the relation between the financial inclusion and QOL. Empirical results suggest that western and the southern Indian states excel in the attainment of education, health and other amenities-based indicators of QOL. The conditions of the eastern part of the country in case of financial inclusion and the QOL are not at all satisfactory. In case of West Bengal, Kolkata being the state capital is performing well in both the factors. CC results suggest a significant association between the financial inclusion and QOL across Indian states. The deposit account of financial inclusion indicator and the infant survival rate of QOL indicator are playing a pivotal role in the relationship (both the Indian states and districts of West Bengal as well). This article establishes the effectiveness of the demand following approach of financial inclusion than that of supply leading approach. As the demand-side aspect of financial inclusion is becoming more important to the policymakers, the next policy priority of financial inclusion measures could be the generation of awareness on the financial services through financial literacy.

Design/methodology/approach The study used cross-sectional research design and quantitative data were collected and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Baron and Kenny guidelines were adopted to test for existence of moderating effect of cognition in the relationship between financial literacy and financial inclusion of the poor in rural Uganda. Furthermore, ModGraph excel software was used to establish the magnitude of moderating effect of cognition in the relationship between financial literacy and financial inclusion of the poor in rural Uganda. Findings The results revealed that cognition significantly moderate the relationship between financial literacy and financial inclusion of the poor in rural Uganda. In addition, both cognition and financial literacy also have direct effects on financial inclusion of the poor in rural Uganda. Research limitations/implications The study adopted cross-sectional research design and data were collected by use of only questionnaires. Future studies through longitudinal research design may be employed. Besides, further studies using interviews may be adopted. Furthermore, this study collected data from only tier 3 financial institutions, thus, ignoring the other financial institutions. Future studies could focus on financial institutions under the other tiers. Practical implications The findings from the study enlightens policy-makers, managers of financial institutions, and financial inclusion advocates on the importance of cognition in enhancing financial literacy among the poor, especially in rural Uganda. Cognition combined with financial literacy helps the poor to make wise financial decisions and choices toward consuming financial services and products provided by formal financial institutions. This leads to increased scope of financial inclusion of the poor in rural Uganda. Therefore, advocates of financial literacy should assess community cultural cognition and utilize them to design and fashion effective financial literacy interventions that can promote financial inclusion. Originality/value The study uses Baron and Kenny and ModGraph excel software to test for the interaction effect of cognition in the relationship between financial literacy and financial inclusion of the poor in rural Uganda. While several studies exist worldwide on financial inclusion, this study is the first to test the interaction effect of cognition in the relationship between financial literacy and financial inclusion of the poor in rural areas in a developing country context.
