FINANCIAL LITERACY AMONG WOMEN IN INDIA: A REVIEW
Dr. Zeba Rushi
Abstract
Various financial and economic reforms began, expanding the coverage of the entire market. More new
financial products are coming to market to help people plan and invest their finances wisely. In other
words, financial planning becomes essential to your financial well-being. On the one hand, although the
role of financial planning is widely recognized, the importance of financial literacy, especially for women,
lags behind. Also, the level of financial literacy of Indian women is largely undocumented. Therefore, it is
necessary to understand the issue of financial literacy of Indian women in detail. This article is an attempt
in that direction. While empowering women to make financial decisions like men is essential, many
Indian women face a variety of cultural, financial, psychological and physical barriers that prevent them
from being financially literate. Although governments are working to eradicate financial literacy among
the people, there is a wide gap in the level of financial literacy between men and women. Therefore, we
need to introduce more financial education programs for women and open new universities to educate
women. This will increase women's independence and opportunities, as well as contribute to the growth
of the entire population
