What are the primary drivers behind this gap, considering factors like the gender pay gap, caregiver responsibilities, & differences in financial planning confidence?

Yeah, it’s definitely a concerning issue. From what I understand, there are several things at play here.
First, the gender pay gap is a big one. Even in the same roles, women often earn less than men, which makes it harder to save.
Second, women are often the primary caregivers for children or elderly parents. This can lead to career interruptions or part-time work, which reduces their earning potential and ability to save for retirement.
Finally, studies show that women sometimes lack the financial confidence to invest, or less likely to talking Money, but there have so much people’s who can teach.
What can be done? Well, companies need to address the pay gap. There needs to be better support for caregivers, like affordable childcare and flexible work arrangements. And women need to feel empowered to learn about investing and take control of their finances. Some women is awesome on investment & managing wealth better than men-
I am not sure how to solve to close that gap!
