A study conducted by the Stanford Center on Longevity found that women commonly performed more poorly on financial literacy tests than men.  Women were more likely to get answers wrong or mark "don't know" in comparison to men. Learning about financial topics can play an important role in improving financial literacy and building confidence in making financial decisions. However, it should be acknowledged, that some systematic inequalities, like the gender pay gap and the glass ceiling, also affect the way women view money. To resolve these issues, change is needed culturally and across companies.
