Behavioral psychology offers valuable insights into addressing the persistent barriers that limit engagement with financial and legal resources, especially among low-income and underserved populations. This review examines how understanding decision-making behaviors and psychosocial factors can guide the design of effective programs and policies that promote access to these critical tools. Despite the transformative potential of financial and legal resources in reducing socioeconomic disparities, challenges such as cognitive biases, emotional barriers, and systemic complexities often prevent individuals from utilizing these resources effectively. Drawing from behavioral frameworks such as nudge theory, social proof, and simplification, this publication proposes strategies to overcome these barriers. It highlights the importance of creating culturally sensitive and accessible programs that address emotional and cognitive obstacles, such as fear, anxiety, and mistrust of institutions. By leveraging technology, such as mobile applications and digital platforms, programs can scale to reach broader audiences while offering personalized interventions based on behavioral data. The review also underscores the role of supportive policy measures in fostering engagement, including simplified financial and legal communication, incentivized participation in literacy programs, and the establishment of community resource centers. Case studies from international and local contexts provide evidence of successful interventions, showcasing the potential of behavioral-centric approaches to improve access and outcomes. Ultimately, this review advocates for integrating behavioral psychology into program and policy design as a means to empower underserved populations, enhance resource engagement, and reduce systemic inequities. By aligning these insights with grassroots initiatives and scalable technologies, stakeholders can develop impactful solutions that promote long-term economic and social resilience.
