Rebalancing wealth: the gender equation in personal finance

Christina Gossayn

Chapter 11 in Research Handbook on Personal Finance, 2026, pp 184-202 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Drawing from gender studies, behavioral economics, and neuroscience, this chapter explores themes like risk tolerance, gender pay gap, caregiving responsibilities, financial literacy, and policies. The chapter highlights the perpetual impact of traditional gender roles and financial exclusion, especially for women and marginalized groups. The chapter calls for systemic change by promoting inclusive education, equal pay, and gender-conscious financial products to create equitable financial systems.
