Managing Educational Determinants of Financial Inclusion as a Key Factor of Sustainable Development: Logit-Probit Modeling

This article is devoted to the question of identifying the relationship between the dimensions of formal education in the country and the level of its financial inclusion. To achieve it, logit-probit modeling was used between the integral indicator of financial inclusion, based on principal-component factors calculation, and various dimensions of education. Ninety-three countries with different levels of socio-economic development were chosen as the object of the study. As a result, the positive statistically significant influence of such determinants as financial literacy, duration of compulsory education, government expenditure on education, pupil-teacher ratio, school enrollment at the secondary level was confirmed. School enrollment at the primary level had a negative influence on financial inclusion. This vector of research will allow to form the main directions of management of educational determinants of financial inclusion, which are important vectors of reforming the education system and ensuring financial inclusion at the national level.

Changes in the management of electronic public services in the metropolis during the covid-19 pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic has radically affected social and organizational behavior. The aim of the article is to indicate the number and scope of public services provided electronically during the Covid-19 pandemic. Research in this area has not been conducted so far. The authors give answer to the research question on how the limitations of social mobility during the pandemic contributed to the use of public services provided electronically. The research was carried out using the methods of a classic telephone interview and a questionnaire directed to a deliberately selected research sample. As a result of the study it was found that these limitations generated a radical increase in the number of e-services delivered by local government administration and the need to verify the methods of information management and communication with the society used so far. The trend may turn out to be much more persistent than the sanitary restrictions that triggered it. Local government units that were the subject to the study recorded an increase in the number of public services provided with use of the Electronic Platform of Public Administration Services (ePUAP) by 170.8% in 2020 compared to the number before the pandemic in 2019. © 2021, Czestochowa University of Technology.
