Instead, several interconnected factors contribute to this disparity:
-
Social Norms and Stereotypes: Societal expectations often steer women towards more conservative financial choices, discouraging them from taking investment risks and exploring wealth-building opportunities. Traditional gender roles, unfortunately, still impact women's perception of financial decision-making.
-
Lack of Representation: The lack of female representation in the investment industry perpetuates the notion that finance is a male-dominated field. This scarcity of role models can discourage women from pursuing careers in finance or seeking professional financial advice.
