        The missing majority: Designing Finance for informal Economies

        À propos de cette session

        Much of the world's workforce earns outside formal payroll systems. Income can arrive daily, seasonally or irregularly, while many savings, credit, pension and insurance products still assume a stable monthly salary. Informal workers are therefore not a marginal customer segment; in many emerging markets they are the economy's centre of gravity. Digital payments and alternative data have made it possible to build financial histories for people previously invisible to formal institutions, but access alone does not guarantee trust or sustained use. The roundtable compares products and distribution models designed around irregular income and asks what makes an informal worker continue using a formal financial product after the first transaction.
