商品描述
Digital Revolution for the Vulnerable tells a grounded, sometimes uncomfortable, and ultimately hopeful story about Bangladesh's push to shift social protection from paper registers to mobile screens--from cash to code. Instead of getting lost in jargon and big promises, the book stays close to real lives: people receiving old age allowances, widows and destitute women relying on small but vital stipends, and the local officials trying to make a new system work. It traces how mobile money and government-to-person (G2P) payments can reduce leakage, sideline middlemen, and speed up transfers, while still leaving many behind because of gender norms, where they live, what they can read, and who holds power. Drawing on detailed fieldwork and clear-eyed policy thinking, the authors show what actually works on the ground, what falls apart in practice, and what needs to change so that digital cash transfers respect people's dignity and strengthen their voice, rather than simply making the system more efficient.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《數位革命為弱勢者而生》講述了一個扎根於現實、偶爾令人不安但最終充滿希望的故事，關於孟加拉國如何推動社會保障從紙本登記轉向行動螢幕——從現金轉向代碼。這本書並未迷失於術語和空洞的承諾，而是緊密關注真實的生活：那些領取老年津貼的人、依賴小額但至關重要的補助金的寡婦和貧困女性，以及試圖使新系統運作的地方官員。書中追溯了行動支付和政府對個人（G2P）支付如何減少資金流失、排除中介並加快轉帳速度，同時因性別規範、居住地、閱讀能力和權力掌握者的不同，仍然讓許多人被拋在了後頭。作者基於詳細的實地研究和清晰的政策思考，展示了在實際操作中什麼是有效的，什麼會崩潰，以及需要改變什麼，以便數位現金轉帳能尊重人們的尊嚴並增強他們的聲音，而不僅僅是使系統更有效率。
