Women & Money

Championing financial confidence for women

For the past few years, we’ve been working hard to understand, share and address the many challenges women face when it comes to saving for the future. We want to help close the gap between women and men when it comes to saving for retirement by giving women the tools and information to invest for retirement with confidence. It’s one of the reasons we've created this dedicated space.

Global Women and Money study 2023

It’s been another year of uncertainty around the world, with both global and local challenges when it comes to how people manage their finances. Our Women and Money Study* has highlighted how these can present particular barriers for women to overcome. This year’s findings show these challenges remain, however, across different global markets we are seeing shoots of optimism. These are positive foundations to build upon - however more work is needed to ensure we’re closing gender financial gaps.

Source - Research was conducted by Opinium Research commissioned by Fidelity International. Findings relate to a comparison of a survey conducted in January 2022 and later in December 2022 (7 -17 January among 2,010 UK adults; 15 - 20 December 2022 among 2,000 UK adults).
