OECD/INFE Policy Guidance on Addressing Women’s and Girls’ Needs for Financial Awareness and Education

Publisher: OECD, 2013

Status – CURRENT

In October 2010, the OECD International Network on Financial Education1 (INFE) established an expert subgroup on “Empowering Women through Financial Education and Awareness”, recognising that women have specific financial literacy needs and are often over-represented in disadvantaged segments in developed and developing countries. The INFE and this dedicated subgroup aim at developing research and evidence-based policy analysis to better understand women’s specificities vis-à-vis financial literacy in various national contexts and elaborate guidance to help policy makers and interested stakeholders strengthening women’s competencies in this area.
