Description

This thesis explores the digital financial inclusion/exclusion of Bengali Muslim women living in Southeast Queensland, Australia. The study focuses on participants’ experiences of the digital financial divide, reinforced by their gendered, cultural, and socio-demographic positions. These experiences range from socio-economic constraints, cultural norms, religious norms and access barriers. The findings indicate that digital financial inclusion of Bengali Muslim women living in Southeast Queensland largely depends on their individual preferences and choices about their financial matters and daily work routines. The thesis makes suggestions for bridging the digital gender divide and promoting digital financial inclusion among the participant group.
