More Indians than ever are investing, but women still lag behind, reveals a survey by Mint | Today’s news

The gender gap is sharpest in Tier 3 cities, where 21% of employed women do not invest, compared to 16% of men. The gap narrows in larger cities, suggesting that urban exposure and access may help bring more women into investing. Gen Z has the widest split, with 17% of employed women not investing, compared to 13% of men. However, the gap narrows among millennials (12% vs. 10%), suggesting that younger men may be starting their investment journey earlier than women.
