Abstrakt

Problem włączenia finansowego stał się w ostatnim czasie przedmiotem troski zarówno rządów, decydentów, organizacji pozarządowych (NGO), jak również instytucji finansowych i niefinansowych na całym świecie. McKinnon (1973) i Shaw (1973) w swoich najważniejszych pracach zwrócili uwagę świata na znaczenie efektywnego systemu finansowego dla rozwoju gospodarczego. W ostatnich latach coraz więcej prac teoretycznych i empirycznych wskazuje na silne związki między rozwojem finansowym a wzrostem gospodarczym i ograniczaniem ubóstwa. Po przeprowadzeniu analizy statystycznej przy użyciu programu Stata w wersji 14 dla systemu Windows z zastosowaniem modelowania wieloczynnikowej binarnej regresji logistycznej (multivariate binary logistic regression modeling), w niniejszym artykule wykazano, że istnieje statystycznie istotny związek między poziomem wykształcenia z jednej strony i poziomem dochodów z drugiej strony, a prawdopodobieństwem posiadania konta bankowości mobilnej przez mieszkańców Afryki Południowej. Z punktu widzenia prowadzenia polityki, informacje te mogą być przydatne decydentom w podejmowaniu bardziej świadomych decyzji dotyczących edukacji, a sektorowi bankowemu mogą pomóc w rozwijaniu produktów, które będą lepiej dostosowane do poziomu wykształcenia i poziomu dochodów ludności.
