STOCKHOLM, March 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers across Europe are battering the impact of high inflation and rapidly increasing interest rates. And the cost-of-living crunch is adding extra pressure on women. Intrum's latest European Consumer Payment Report, a survey of 24,000 consumers across Europe, shows that women report a lower financial wellbeing than men across the board, with a significantly growing gender gap within this field compared to the 2021 survey. The research also shows that female respondents are less satisfied than men with their level of financial education and were less likely to correctly answer questions about how the inflation impacts consumers' day-to-day finances.  

Key Points: 
  • Women report a lower financial wellbeing than men and are less confident about their financial literacy.
  • Ahead of the International Women's Day on 8 March, Intrum's European Consumer Payment Report points to an increasing gender gap in financial equality among European consumers.
  • Intrum's data shows that women have less of financial buffers than men.
  • Getting financial education right for all Europeans, independently of their gender, is definitely one very important aspect which will help close the financial gender gap once and for all," says Anna Zabrodzka-Averianov.
