We first established Fidelity International’s Women and Money campaign to understand many of the challenges women face when it comes to financial empowerment, from the gender pay, pension, savings and investment gaps that stand between men and women.
However, many of these challenges exist around the world, and for the first time we have looked at the experiences and views of women across six markets – the UK, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong SAR, Taiwan and mainland China – to better understand and address the barriers they face.
In our third report 'Global women & money study 2021' we explore how women across the globe – with a focus on the UK, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong SAR, Taiwan and mainland China – choose to manage their money and their attitudes towards investing. What are the long-term consequences this can have on their retirement outlook; and how has the pandemic impacted them.
The findings reveal although many of the barriers are universal. The report also highlights a more positive picture in markets where barriers are being overcome, in order to help women harness their financial power to invest and plan for the long-term.
Watch Fidelity's Maike Currie and a panel of industry experts to discuss the findings of our latest Global Women & Money study and what advisers can do to close the 'Gender pension gap'.
