Women are more concerned about immediate financial concerns than men and are more likely to overlook saving for retirement when setting their financial priorities, according to BlackRock's Global Investor Pulse Survey.
The survey polled more than 17,500 people in 12 nations, including nearly 9,000 women globally.
It found that women are more likely than men to emphasize strengthening day-to-day financial security via saving and debt reduction. When asked what they would do if they earned an extra $200 or equivalent each month, women globally were more inclined than men to say they would save more generally, 45 percent vs. 38 percent, and pay off debt, 28 percent vs. 23 percent, as well as spend more on their children, 15 percent vs. 11 percent.
