Over the past few years, Investing in the stock market has proven to be an effective method of securing a person’s long-term financial needs. Parents often invest to ensure that their child’s future financial needs such as education, health, living expenses, etc, are met. Studies have shown that Investing, along with other fields in finance, is prominently male-dominated. Due to lower levels of financial education and a more risk-averse outlook, Women tend to opt for more traditional income methods. However, the rate of women’s participation in the stock market has steadily been increasing. Younger women who are highly educated & have independent streams of income have shown to take an interest in investing. Married women, as well, are participating more in the stock market, possibly due to future familial responsibilities. This paper delves into women’s investment habits, the setbacks they face, and their reasons for choosing to or not to invest.
