| Title | Gender gaps in financial knowledge, financial behavior and spending attitudes in Argentina: a quantitative analysis |
| Summary | This thesis explores gender gaps in financial literacy in Argentina in 2017 through the lens of the theory of feminist economics, focusing on financial knowledge, financial behavior and spending attitudes. Using the 2017 CAF Financial Capabilities survey, this research implements a descriptive analysis and OLS models to investigate the effects of gender gaps in financial metrics in Argentina. The findings reveal that women in Argentina have lower levels of financial knowledge and exhibit worse financial behaviors compared to men. However, they are legit promoters of good spending attitudes within the family context. Low-income women with lower levels of education face the most substantial challenges. The policy recommendations include the implementation of targeted financial education programs to support women in becoming financial decision-makers and to promote their financial independence and economic empowerment. |
