Financial inclusion and education contribute to a country's development and economic growth. However, despite the significant efforts being made to increase access to financial products for women, a high percentage still do not have access to and effective use of formal financial services in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. This study analyzes financial inclusion (based on gender equality) in the countries studied using a pooled‐panel ordinary least squares econometric technique. Furthermore, the impact of interactions between the level of study, use of technology, academic degree during the Covid‐19 restrictions, number of credit borrowers, and number of borrowers with the interaction of the restrictions during the health emergency was evaluated employing the Gini coefficient and human development index (HDI). This study confirms that Latin America and the Caribbean countries can increase financial inclusion by changing their social aspects based on gender equality to ease using technology and access to credit. The results of this study are helpful for policy‐makers in formulating and implementing policies that lead to action plans that reverse an exclusionary financial system, promote financial education, and empower women.

“…A parallel body of scholarship has developed on how labor informality shapes social policy provision, and with the global pandemic, also public health. Central questions include: When do politicians extend social programs to include workers without traditional labor contracts (Blofield et al 2020; Garay 2016)? How does informality condition social policy preferences (Altamirano et al this issue; Carnes and Mares 2014; Rueda 2007)?…”

“…With the return of democracy, however, many governments layered noncontributory social policies onto their contributory systems (Holland and Schneider 2017; Hunter and Sugiyama 2009). The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the growth of noncontributory social assistance and universal healthcare across Latin America (Filgueira et al 2020), with many Latin American governments specifically targeting informal workers outside traditional labor, social security, and healthcare structures (Blofield et al 2020; Hummel et al 2021).…”

“…The COVID-19 pandemic yet again exposed the vast divide in working conditions across Latin America. Many governments struggled to provide social assistance and employment relief to workers and businesses without formal documents (Blofield et al 2020; Filgueira and Blofield 2020; Hummel et al 2021). The pandemic response brought to the fore old questions: Who is informal and for what purposes?…”

T he COVID-19 pandemic yet again exposed the vast divide in working conditions across Latin America. Many governments struggled to provide social assistance and employment relief to workers and businesses without formal documents (Blofield et al. 2020;Filgueira and Blofield 2020;Hummel et al. 2021). The pandemic response brought to the fore old questions: Who is informal and for what purposes? How do informal workers make claims on the state? And what explains the enduring divides in Latin American labor markets?Contemporary scholarship has moved away from understanding informality as a pure result of economic conditions. In the 1990s, conventional wisdom was that labor informality resulted from market and state reforms. Debt crises expanded the ranks of informal workers. As economies opened, states reduced labor regulation, and macroeconomic conditions stabilized, economists expected labor informality to decrease (e.g.
