Shownotes

Join us for Episode 34 of Feminist Money as we discuss:

  1. Feature: According to a recent study by a financial institution, women are worried about retirement due to a retirement confidence gap and a long-running financial literacy gap. We explain why blaming women for a lack of financial literacy may not be the best strategy to address the gender retirement gap for all women.
  2. Research: The hidden costs that mothers take on, as research finds that motherhood changes how women prioritise money and manage their finances.
  3. Campaign: Canada’s development of an economic abuse strategy and why its voluntary nature might be holding it back.
  4. International: Women are being jailed in Egypt for the crime of going into debt due to unscrupulous creditors, and the work being undertaken to change it.
  5. Pop Culture: As Reese Witherspoon issues a warning about celebrity impersonation scams, we look at these scams and how to protect yourself from them.
