Abstract

This study intended to construct an integrated model to examine the linkages between
drivers of financial inclusion and economic inequality and empowerment to fill a gap in the
existing research and contribute to the development of financial inclusion in Jammu and Kashmir.
The current research relied on primary data collected from top tribal districts of the Jammu and
Kashmir (India) regions through a questionnaire. PLS-SEM is applied for hypotheses testing.Results
demonstrated that financial inclusion had a significant impact on economic empowerment and
economic inequality.The findings of this study have immediate implications for policymakers,
banks, and other service providers, and they also have a significant impact on the researchers
working in the field of financial inclusion.
