Why Do Women Invest Less Than Men? The Gender Investment Gap As we kick off the new financial year, let’s confront the Gender Investment Gap head-on. Despite progress in many areas, women still trail behind men in investments. Why? 1️⃣ Financial Literacy: Schools taught us a lot, but financial literacy wasn’t on the syllabus. 2️⃣ Pay Gap: Women earn less, leaving them with fewer funds to invest. 3️⃣ Knowledge and Confidence: Many women feel they lack these, shying away from the stock market. 4️⃣ Risk Aversion: Women often have lower financial risk tolerance, opting to stash money in banks or invest in gold. Holding onto cash isn’t the answer. Inflation eats away its value, making non-investment a loss. The Change Starts Here - 1️⃣ Shift Attitudes: Investing isn’t rocket science; it’s a path to wealth generation. 2️⃣ Start Small: Begin with modest sums. Treat it as a learning journey. 3️⃣ Research and Consult: Find what works best, seek guidance from financial experts. Research proves that once women start investing, they perform just as well as men. Financial independence fuels empowerment.

Why Do Women Invest Less Than Men? 1. Low Investment Participation by Women: Globally, only 1 in 10 women feel confident about investment, with just 28% expressing confidence and 45% perceiving the stock market as risky. 2. Disparity in Investment Rates: In the UK, only 19% of women aged 25-44 have invested compared to 34% of men. Similarly, in the US, 55% of women and 62% of men perceive investing as important. 3. Factors Driving the Gap: The gender pay gap persists, hindering women's ability to invest. Even when earning equally, women tend to lack knowledge and confidence in investment, coupled with lower risk tolerance. 4. Financial Literacy and Access: Many women are unaware of investment opportunities or lack access to financial institutions, leading them to hold onto cash or turn to assets like gold, which depreciate over time. 5. Changing Attitudes Towards Investment: Investment is a simple yet stable generator of wealth, offering short-term gains for emergencies and long-term stability for retirement. Despite risks, diverse investment options exist to suit individual preferences and risk tolerance. 6. Empowerment Through Financial Independence: Financial literacy should be integrated into school curriculums to empower both girls and boys, offering more security, choices, and opportunities for a better life. By addressing these factors and fostering a culture of financial literacy, we can narrow the gender investment gap and promote economic empowerment for all. #empowerment #womenfounder #startup Madhuri Awande Palki Sharma https://lnkd.in/dK5WMusy

Did you know that only 30% of women are considered financially literate worldwide? In turn, women are less likely to identify their monetary worth, ask for raises, and receive financial education. But even in a fluctuating economy, we know that when more women work, economies grow. Join us in the #EqualityLounge @ #WEF24 for critical conversations on why women’s economic empowerment is a global imperative. RSVP: https://lnkd.in/gdaeYt5J

Humanizing business, one project at a time | Organizational Leadership | Futurist | Author & Speaker | Mensch | former Allianz Executive
This year it is going to be the 9th time I will be going to Davos for the World Economic Forum. While the official WEF events are closed to the public (I wonder why the WEF chose "Rebuilding Trust" as its major theme this year), there a lot of side events that are open to the public. The WEF Open Forum is a good example. The EQ Lounge of The Female Quotient is an even better example. For years, this is where you can find the best panels during WEF. Get inspired, join the dialogue, leave Davos energized and full of ideas how to make our world a better and more diverse place.

Investing in the female future: Why we need better financing for women entrepreneurs. In this episode of the #WeeklyTradecast, we’re talking about women and investment and why a lack of financing is undermining development with UNCTAD economist Stephania Bonilla-Feret Phd. For developing countries, having more female entrepreneurs offers the benefits of more jobs, new skills and growth for communities and economies. But gender inequalities in society mean women who are running or starting a business often face daunting challenges securing loans or investment. Listen in to UNCTAD’s Stephania Bonilla to find out how we can increase investment in women and unlock their full potential. bit.ly/3QjLPVQ
