Overview
While more women are present in the work force and generating a higher income today than in past generations, studies show a noticeable gender gap in financial literacy and financial planning that poses a challenge to women’s well-being and security in retirement. This session takes a step towards addressing challenges that women face in managing their wealth and planning for their financial futures, with strategies for women to improve their financial well-being for life-stage goals.
