Despite recent advances in wage digitization, 6 out of 10 wage earners in low- and lower-middle-income countries still receive wages in cash. This session highlights how digital wage payments, when provided responsibly, can enable workers to have better control over their wages and use associated financial services for more secure income, resilience, and economic opportunities. This conversation also features the Center for Inclusive Growth's Lisa Richman, Director of Social Impact for Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
