Women are matching footsteps with men in all the fields, but when it comes to making a decision for doing a good financial investment for themselves as well as their family, are they at par with men? Maybe not. A financial literacy survey done by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development-International Network on Financial Education (OECD/INFE) shows that women display lower financial knowledge than men in a large number of developed and developing countries.
There is no denying the fact that in recent times, women have emerged as successful entrepreneurs, pilots, engineers, doctors, managers, artists etc and are doing very well in all the fields which were previously dominated by men. In fact, gone are the days when the sole earner of the family used to be a man and securing wealth was typically associated mostly to a man, keeping woman-centric to only household chores.
