Gender Inclusivity of India's Digital Financial Revolution for Attainment of SDGs: Macro Achievements and the Micro Experiences of Targeted Initiatives.

For decades, India has led the drive for financial inclusion of poor rural women to facilitate attainment of development objectives like poverty alleviation and women's empowerment. More recently, it has promoted digital financial inclusion to further its fight against poverty and gender inequality and support the attainment of UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this paper we take stock of how India's digital financial revolution has affected financial transactions and services with a focus on gender inclusivity for the attainment of the SDGs.

Quasi-experimental study designs series-paper 10: synthesizing evidence for effects collected from quasi-experimental studies presents surmountable challenges.

Objective: To outline issues of importance to analytic approaches to the synthesis of quasi-experiments (QEs) and to provide a statistical model for use in analysis.

Study Design And Setting: We drew on studies of statistics, epidemiology, and social-science methodology to outline methods for synthesis of QE studies. The design and conduct of QEs, effect sizes from QEs, and moderator variables for the analysis of those effect sizes were discussed.

Quasi-experimental study designs series-paper 9: collecting data from quasi-experimental studies.

Objective: To identify variables that must be coded when synthesizing primary studies that use quasi-experimental designs.

Study Design And Setting: All quasi-experimental (QE) designs.

Results: When designing a systematic review of QE studies, potential sources of heterogeneity-both theory-based and methodological-must be identified.
