Abstract

Abstract The aim of this study is to determine how women's access to inheritance influences the effect of women's financial inclusion on income inequality in Africa. The study covers 47 countries between 1990 and 2014. The generalised method of moments is used as an estimation technique. It shows that women's access to bank accounts does not have a significant direct impact on reducing income inequality in the region. Access to credit, on the other hand, produced significant but ambiguous results. Women's access to inheritance has a weakly significant effect on reducing inequalities. As for the mixed effect, in countries where women have equal access to inheritance, women's financial inclusion contributes to a significant reduction in income inequality. The result is much more significant for the use dimension of women's financial inclusion and for equal access to inheritance for widows and widowers.
