摘要：
本文呈现了一项综合研究的结果，考察居住在某大都市区非正规住区内低收入家庭的储蓄与信贷行为。研究采用双重方法，开展了长期实地工作，包括对选定家庭每两周一次的重复访谈，以及样本量更大的一次性原始调查。研究细致分析了这些家庭的财务生活，重点关注其储蓄与信贷行为，并评估其可获得金融工具的可达性与使用强度。通过适当的回归模型，研究识别了影响低收入家庭金融工具使用的关键因素。交易成本、便利性与金融知识成为影响使用决策和使用强度的显著决定因素。研究强调，必须解决需求侧因素，以确保低收入群体广泛使用金融服务。降低时间成本、提升产品可达性与流动性以及增强金融素养，对于促进非正规住区的金融包容至关重要。研究结果表明，必须超越单纯的金融可得性，转向推动普遍使用，才能实现金融包容的全部收益。
英文摘要：
The paper presents findings from a comprehensive study examining the saving and credit behaviors of low-income households residing in unauthorized colonies within a metropolitan area. Utilizing a dual approach, the study engaged in prolonged fieldwork, including repeated fortnightly interviews with selected households and a one-time primary survey with a larger sample size. The research meticulously analyzed the financial lives of these households, focusing on their saving and credit behaviors and assessing the accessibility and intensity of usage of financial instruments available to them. Through suitable regression models, the study identified key factors influencing the usage of financial instruments among low-income households. Transaction costs, convenience, and financial knowledge emerged as significant determinants impacting both usage decisions and the intensity of usage. The research underscores the importance of addressing demand side factors to ensure widespread financial services usage among low-income groups. Efforts to reduce time costs, enhance product accessibility and liquidity, and augment financial literacy are essential for fostering financial inclusion in unauthorized colonies. The findings highlight the imperative of moving beyond mere financial access towards promoting universal usage to realize the full benefits of financial inclusion.
