Beyond the Numbers: Understanding the Societal Impact of Gender Disparities in Financial Literacy
Beyond the Numbers: Understanding the Societal Impact of Gender Disparities in Financial Literacy Although women have made great progress in the last few decades toward full equality, more needs to be done. The gender pay disparity in Europe is 12.7%. They are more likely to work in fields where wages are low and to encounter discrimination at work. In general, women have lower financial literacy than men. Many people lack basic knowledge of financial principles, with a significant gender gap in financial literacy. Women face unique financial challenges due to longer life expectancies, lower lifetime income, and career interruptions for child-rearing. This lack of financial knowledge puts women at risk of financial insecurity in retirement. Those with higher financial literacy are more likely to make better financial decisions, such as investing in the stock market and saving for retirement. It is important to understand women's level of financial understanding and address any gaps in financial skills.

Sleep Apnea — An Invisible Illness
My first experience with sleep apnea was when I was embarrassed by my boss. She would fall asleep in meetings. If she wasn’t talking, it was easy for her to drift off to sleep. I worked in a behavioral health division. Her behavior felt rude and I wondered if she was up all night causing her to fall asleep in meetings.

Why Benevolent Sexism Isn’t as Sweet as It Sounds
Why Benevolent Sexism Isn’t as Sweet as It Sounds In this often progressive world where equality and goodness have become the hallmarks, something in chivalry is out of place. As gentle as it may look seeing these gentlemen doffing hats off their heads or listening in with a compliment given, such seemingly innocuous act hides a problematic phenomenon from view-benevolent sexism. This modern trend, veiled in politeness and courtesy, seems to suggest that women should be treated with kid gloves as if they were perpetually in need of protection or assistance. Such attitudes can perpetuate the long standing stereotypes, reinforcing the notion that women are fragile and unable to navigate the world independently. Critics observe that what may look very much like a playful display of feminism oftentimes entraps women in dependency, and their potential is belittled. While society grapples with these underlying issues, the clear-cut lines defining true respect and condescending behaviour often become blurred, raising the stakes of equality and empowerment for women as promised by feminism.
