Breaking barriers in gender wealth equity

In this episode, we address the critical issue of gender wealth equity globally. We explore how career choices, family support, life events, and financial literacy contribute to this disparity. Insights from the Global Gender Wealth Equity Report by WTW and the World Economic Forum provide a foundation for our discussion.

Join us for expert insights from Helen Howcroft, Private Client Director at Atomos Wealth, on women’s financial management challenges, and Mark Mann, Director, Integrated & Global Solutions at WTW, on the report’s significant findings.

Tune in to understand gender wealth equity and learn steps to create a fairer financial future for all.

We need to feminise the financial industry. So much of the industry is very much based on the way that men engage with their finances. We need to add the women’s oomph and really start thinking about how women engage.

Women with similar experience and skill sets to men are expected to accumulate less than three quarters of the wealth that men have at retirement. It’s a global problem, so it doesn’t just affect one country or 10 countries, we saw it across all 39 countries that we looked at.
