ID Code Of Conduct Phase 3

Women in Identity strongly believe there is a need for a global Identity Code of Conduct to address identity exclusion. See an overview of the full programme here.

We partnered with The London School of Economics to deliver this ground-breaking research. The Economic Impact of ID Inclusion research has two-stages. This first report demonstrates that ID Inclusion is good for business. By widening the happy path for identity inclusion, organizations decrease their costs and time spent on customers on the unhappy path.

‘An important read for those of us who work in the identity space –

as well as policymakers and businesses who are looking for ways to bring more people

into the economy and create better opportunities for everyone.’

Jeremy Grant, Better Identity Coalition

We have partnered with the London School of Economics to research and author an Economic Impact Report, which is a qualitative study on the costs, opportunity costs and growth opportunities for private and public sector organisations that require customers to verify their identity to access services. 

There are two versions of the report - a shorter corporate report (white cover) above, and a longer academic version with full findings (pink cover) below.

There is a substantial and unrealized benefit to nations globally in supporting ID inclusion. The Macroeconomic benefits for the Gross Domestic Product of nations have been estimated at a 3–13% increase in GDP by 2030 (McKinsey 2019) if nations are ID Inclusive. We aim to build on this work.
