FINANCIAL INCLUSION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT OF TRANSGENDERS
Abstract
Transgender persons in India and across the globe continue to face economic marginalization due to systemic exclusion, stigma, and lack of institutional support. Financial inclusion and entrepreneurship can act as catalysts for their social and economic empowerment. This paper examines the link between financial inclusion and entrepreneurship in creating livelihood opportunities for the transgender community, highlights barriers they face in accessing mainstream financial services, and suggests strategies for policymakers, financial institutions, and civil society to strengthen inclusive growth.
