India's Gender Wealth Gap: Disparity in Financial Holdings

Imagine that even when women earn money, they don't always own as much as men.

This is the gender wealth gap.

India is ranked low in this area.

Women get fewer loans and are less involved in investing.

Though the situation is improving slowly, women face barriers to owning property and starting businesses.

They tend to invest safely, for things like retirement.

This affects their ability to build wealth over time.

It means women have less money and fewer opportunities to grow their wealth.
