Financial inclusion is a fundamental pillar of development. Access to financial products and services broadens economic opportunities  for  individuals  and  firms  and  helps  governments design  and  deliver  transfers  more  effectively.  For policymakers, increasing financial inclusion is a tool to accelerate growth, reduce inequality, and boost productivity for small  and  medium-sized  enterprises.  This  paper  aims  to  contribute  to  the  literature  on  the  sociodemographic characteristics that increase the barriers to financial inclusion in Mexico and to discuss their policy implications.
