Description
Summary:The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) seek to end poverty, protect the planet, and create a more inclusive society. Many emerging economies worldwide have been adopting SDG commitments. However, the challenges associated with achieving equality and creating an inclusive society come from multiple forms, from the quality of institutions to access to technological resources. Making progress on one front only sometimes translates to progress on another, but adoption can help ease some of these challenges. For instance, many female entrepreneurs lack access to digital technology and financial institutions, technology, and knowledge. Additionally, access to resources and implications for changes in different areas have differential effects on gender. In this chapter, I focus on challenges in Southeast Asian countries and examine how the pandemic has influenced the relationships between digitalization and financial inclusion in the corrupt countries of Southeast Asia.
