The Role of Role Models in Women's Financial Knowledge

Anna: There's no obvious reason why women would score lower in financial knowledge than men if I look at my country for instance girls aged 15 have similar levels as boys aged 15 in terms of numeracy and mathematical skills which are important also for financial knowledge so this is indeed an important question. Martin: If you can find out ways of promoting the confidence that's going to eliminate that at least that one third but it still is kind of a fascinating thing. The lack of literacy skills that implies vulnerabilities of the financial well being right Anna yes indeed.
