Not all that glitters is gold: Financial access, microfinance, and female unemployment in sub‐Saharan Africa.
The present study assesses the relevance of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in the effect of financial access on gender economic inclusion in 44 countries in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) for the period 2004–2018.
