“…Often, financial institutions have few customers with disabilities, perpetuating the belief that there is no necessity to develop financial services specifically tailored to their needs [ 15 , 16 ]. Furthermore, due to high unemployment rates among people with disability, banks, insurance providers, and other financial institutions do not consider them valuable clients [ 16 , 17 ].…”

“…Many financially excluded individuals report that they do not go to banks because of geographical distance [ 45 ]. For people with disability this problem is accompanied by unfavourable physical environments and infrastructure, such as difficult terrains and inaccessible bank branches and ATMs [ 17 ]. Interventions are urgently required to improve the infrastructure and accessibility to banking services to accommodate the needs of people with disability.…”

Background Financial exclusion is a human rights issue affecting health equity. Evidence demonstrates that financial exclusion is exacerbated for people with disability and those in low- to middle-income countries (LMIC). Barriers to financial access include limited demand for services, banking inadequacies in catering to people with disability, and insufficiently accessible information technologies (ICT) and infrastructure. Objectives This scoping review sought to identify barriers to and facilitators of financial inclusion for people with disability in LMIC. As a secondary objective, the study explored the potential of financial education and ICT utilisation as viable strategies for enhancing financial inclusion. Methods This review utilised the Arksey and O’Malley framework and PRISMA Checklist for systematic literature examination and data extraction. The WHO’s Environmental Factors guided the analysis to propose potential interventions and to generate recommendations. Results The review analysed 26 publications from various global regions and fields including finance, business, technology, health and disability policy. It identified consistent financial inclusion barriers for people with disability, resulting in a set of global recommendations across attitudes, environment, technology, services, and policy. Conclusions Recommendations include using ICT, digital innovation and multi-stakeholder collaboration to address the financial barriers experienced by people with disability. These efforts, rooted in social justice, aim to include people with disability in LMIC as valued financial sector participants, promoting health and equity.

“…The tendency of people with a recognised disability to evaluate practices and policies more positively than non-disabled participants could be related to their previous experiences in activities that have been socially less inclusive [ 43 ]. These individuals may have experienced situations in which they have not had the same opportunities as their peers, both in terms of specific practices, and in relation to regulations and policies that seek to promote equity and inclusion in the educational environment [ 44 ]. It is, therefore, possible that their more favourable assessment reflects a contrast between past experiences of exclusion and the current inclusion measures implemented, in the context of the study.…”

Inclusion promotes equal opportunities, and aims to eliminate discrimination, by ensuring full access, participation, and representation for all individuals in society, with music playing a crucial role in addressing this global challenge, and fostering positive and inclusive change. The aim of this study is to identify perceptions of inclusive culture, policies, values, and practices in one specific inclusive choir in Spain. The sample consisted of 135 members, ranging from 18 to 79 years of age, of which 22.2% have recognised disabilities. All of them filled in the adapted Scale for the Assessment of Inclusion (SAI) form. The results show that, regardless of gender, age, and length of participation in the choir, their members share positive perceptions of the inclusiveness of its values, policies, practices, and culture. However, perceptions vary across the groups surveyed, and are generally more favourable among participants with a disability, those without a university education, or those aged 26 or over. It is found that people who participate in an inclusive choir, in which music is the mediating resource, perceive a high level of inclusion that allows them to feel they belong to a group where diversity, equality, and the promotion of people are respected. The findings are analysed, considering the importance of conducting multidimensional evaluations that include all members of an organisation.

“…Additionally, the exponential growth experienced between 2014 and 2015 was motivated by the approval of Directive 2014/95/UE and the United Nations 2030 Agenda, which has helped companies to see CSR as a business strategy to achieve sustainability. Other bibliometric studies in other areas of knowledge have already shown how regulation usually leads to the generation of greater scientific production [ 36 , [38] , [39] , [40] , 58 , 103 ].…”
