This publication summarises key findings from the 2015 Solomon Islands National Demand Side Survey related to women. Women in Solomon Islands are financially marginalized, with men being the main financial decision-makers. While few women in the Solomon Islands have access to formal financial services, the vast majority of women save through informal means.
Understanding the needs and challenges that women and men face in their daily financial lives can enable a range of actors to design financial products and payment channels as well as to prepare policies and regulations that support their financial empowerment.
