Why Women Need Separate Financial Planning
Women in India face unique financial challenges — career breaks for family, longer life expectancy (needing more retirement savings), potential income gaps, and often being financially dependent on spouses. Financial independence isn't just empowering — it's essential.
Longer Lifespan
Women live 3-5 years longer on average, requiring larger retirement corpus.
Career Breaks
Maternity and family care gaps reduce lifetime earnings and EPF/pension accumulation.
Gender Pay Gap
Women earn 19% less on average, needing smarter investment strategies to catch up.
Protection Needs
Working women should have term insurance. Non-working women need health insurance and emergency funds.
