Building Financial Resilience: Preparing for Life’s Shocks

💡 Women across the globe—particularly in vulnerable communities—tend to have lower financial resilience than men, making them more exposed to emergencies, crises, and therapy-level poverty.

🔗 Women’s World Banking / Economist Impact (2025):
Today 753 million women in climate vulnerable areas lack access to basic financial services such as savings, credit, and insurance—tools that build resilience. https://impact.economist.com/sustainability/social-sustainability/womens-financial-resilience-the-key-to-advancing-climate-action

🔗 OECD (2021), G20/OECD-INFE Report on Supporting Financial Resilience through Digital Financial Literacy:
This study shows that lower financial literacy is directly linked to lower resilience—especially among women and low-income groups. https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/g20-oecd-infe-report-on-supporting-financial-resilience-and-transformation-through-digital-financial-literacy_0132c06d-en.html

🔍 Why this matters:
• Lower resilience means women are less likely to afford emergency expenses within 30 days, and more likely to rely on unreliable informal sources.
• Financial shocks—health costs, job loss, climate events—hit women harder due to lower savings, credit access, and protection.
• Digital financial literacy and access to savings, credit, and insurance products boost resilience significantly.
• Building financial resilience equips women to withstand crises and plan with confidence.

Through the FEMpower in Finance project, we at The Vision Works are working together with our partners to develop a modular financial literacy curriculum, a digital toolbox, and case studies tailored to women’s real financial needs — especially in rural or underserved areas. These resources will be rolled out step by step until 2026 to support financial independence across generations.

Intergenerational Learning: Money Talks at Home

💡 Growing up in financially aware households significantly boosts women’s financial literacy — especially in countries with high social mobility.

🔗 OECD / Bank of Italy (2023), On the drivers of financial literacy: the role of intergenerational mobility
Research shows that adults raised in societies with greater intergenerational social mobility tend to demonstrate higher financial literacy — with particularly strong effects among women and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4464180&

🔍 Why this matters:
• When parents openly share money conversations, children—especially daughters—absorb confidence, language, and behaviors crucial for financial well-being.
• Intergenerational mobility amplifies these effects: women in such societies are more likely to benefit from family patterns of discussion and learning.
• Replicating these conditions in families and communities can break cycles of exclusion and silence.
• FEMpower encourages household dialogue and materials useful for all generations for knowledge transfer, reflection, and mutual support.

Through the FEMpower in Finance project, we at The Vision Works are working together with our partners to develop a modular financial literacy curriculum, a digital toolbox, and case studies tailored to women’s real financial needs — especially in rural or underserved areas. These resources will be rolled out step by step until 2026 to support financial independence across generations.

etting & Achieving Financial Goals

💡 In the EU, about 70% of adults agree that they set long-term financial goals and strive to achieve them—yet women often feel less confident in sticking to those goals.
🔗 Eurobarometer – Monitoring the Level of Financial Literacy in the EU, July 2023:
https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/2953 The Sun+8European Union+8EBF+8
🔍 Why this matters:
• Women may set goals but often face barriers—confidence, time, financial constraints—that make goal achievement harder
• Women are more likely than men to set goals related to planning for the family or future security, even when managing with less income or fewer resources ResearchGate
• Financial goal-setting enhances motivation, reduces stress, and aligns daily habits with long-term outcomes
• Structured planning tools—like SMART goals, tracking checks, and reward systems—support sustained progress

Through the FEMpower in Finance project, we at The Vision Works are working together with our partners to develop a modular financial literacy curriculum, a digital toolbox, and case studies tailored to women’s real financial needs — especially in rural or underserved areas.

Breaking Financial Taboos: Why Talking Money Helps Everyone

💡 Many women in Europe—and globally—experience anxiety around discussing money. This silence can prevent learning, advice-seeking, and mutual support.
🔗 Bankrate / TIAA Institute, Women and Financial Literacy, 2022–2023:
Women scored only 45% correct on basic financial literacy questions, significantly lower than men’s 55%. https://www.bankrate.com/banking/women-and-financial-literacy/

🔍 Why this matters:
• Financial silence reinforces mistrust, isolation, and misinformation.
• Open conversations about money—within families or peer groups—promote learning and confidence.
• Shared narratives help women learn from each other’s financial decisions, successes, and setbacks.
• Breaking taboos enables women to negotiate better, plan actively, and advocate for their financial futures.

Through the FEMpower in Finance project, we at The Vision Works are working together with our partners to develop a modular financial literacy curriculum, a digital toolbox, and case studies tailored to women’s real financial needs — especially in rural or underserved areas. These resources will be rolled out step by step until 2026 to support financial independence across generations.

Managing Finances Across Life Stages

💡 Financial needs change dramatically over a woman’s life—from education to early career, parenthood, mid career, and retirement. Yet most financial education doesn’t address this evolving journey.

🔗 OECD/INFE (2023), International Survey of Adult Financial Literacy: just 37% of adults who hold financial products achieve the minimum literacy threshold—a percentage that drops even further when accounting for age-specific life stages.https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2023/12/oecd-infe-2023-international-survey-of-adult-financial-literacy_8ce94e2c/56003a32-en.pdf

🔍 Why this matters:
• Women face specific financial transitions: study loans, first jobs, maternity breaks, caregiving responsibilities, retirement planning
• Understanding when to adapt—such as reassessing budgets, protection, and investment plans—prevents gaps and surprises
• Lifecycle-focused guidance supports confidence and financial well being during shifting roles
• Tools tailored to each stage (budget checklists, childcare or retirement override calculators) make planning realistic and sustainable

Through the FEMpower in Finance project, we at The Vision Works are working together with our partners to develop a modular financial literacy curriculum, a digital toolbox, and case studies tailored to women’s real financial needs — especially in rural or underserved areas. These resources will be rolled out step by step until 2026 to support financial independence across generations.

Understanding Financial Products: Why It Matters for Women

💡 Many consumers in the EU struggle to understand common financial products—only 35% compare offers before choosing and just 37% seek independent advice. This gap is broader for women.

🔗 OECD (2024), Strengthening Financial Literacy in Germany (page 81):
https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2024/09/strengthening-financial-literacy-in-germany_4cebad23/81e95597-en.pdf

🔍 Why this matters:
• Women are less likely than men to shop around or consult independent advice before choosing financial products
• Misunderstanding costs, risk, and conditions can lead to poor financial decisions or costly products
• Knowing how to read product disclosures (e.g., PRIIPs key information documents) empowers better decision-making
• Financial literacy programs must teach women how to assess products—like savings accounts, investment funds, and insurance—effectively

Through the FEMpower in Finance project, we at The Vision Works are working together with our partners to develop a modular financial literacy curriculum, a digital toolbox, and case studies tailored to women’s real financial needs — especially in rural or underserved areas.

Women in Rural Areas: The Hidden Financial Gap

💡 Across South East Europe, rural residents—especially women—score lower in financial knowledge, behaviour, and attitudes than urban populations, making them more vulnerable to financial shocks.

🔗 OECD/INFE (2022), Boosting Financial Literacy of Rural Populations in South East Europe, report: rural adults consistently underperform urban peers on financial literacy surveys and are less likely to use digital or formal financial services.https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2022/03/boosting-financial-literacy-of-rural-populations-in-south-east-europe_f97ada93/9cf0c269-en.pdf

🔍 Why this matters:
• Women in rural areas often lack access to banks, credit, and digital tools
• Limited infrastructure, lower education levels, and geographic isolation exacerbate exclusion
• These gaps restrict autonomy in savings, planning, and responding to crises
• Targeted financial education and community-based approaches are essential to reach rural women

Through the FEMpower in Finance project, we at The Vision Works are working together with our partners to develop a modular financial literacy curriculum, a digital toolbox, and case studies tailored to women’s real financial needs — especially in rural or underserved areas. These resources will be rolled out step by step until 2026 to support financial independence across generations.

Co Creation with Employers – A Skills-Match Approach

💡 Aligning training with real-world hospitality needs is key. Engaging employers ensures that vocational learning delivers relevant green and digital skills for circular hospitality.

🔍 Evidence-based insights:
• Research shows European SMEs with no dedicated green-skilled staff are significantly less likely to implement resource-efficiency practices. Those perceiving skills gaps are more likely to plan future action (https://www.solas.ie/f/70398/x/2e26383ae0/hospitality-skills.pdf)
• A 2022 study across eight European countries revealed that environmental skills—like energy/water efficiency and waste reduction—are widely assessed by hospitality managers, but most workers had not received related training (Dijkmans_et_al_Environmental_Skills_Gaps_in_Tourism_and_Hospitality_Organisations.pdf)
• Skills gap reports consistently note that employers benefit when vocational providers co-design curricula with them—resulting in greater uptake, relevance, and retention. In hospitality, soft skills and real workplace training are most closely tied to job competence (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10963758.2024.2316338)

🔍 Why this matters:
• Co-creational approaches ensure training aligns with employer needs—from sustainable procurement to guest engagement and circular operations.
• Employer input helps define needed competencies and update curriculum
• Collaborative pilots build trust: learners practice in real kitchens and hotels, while employers support applied skills development.
• This matched model increases employability and ensures workers contribute effectively from day one.

Through the Eco Smart Hospitality project, we engage employers alongside VET providers, co-designing a circular-hospitality curriculum and digital tools. Together, we pilot learner training in real settings, ensuring that what participants learn is exactly what businesses need.
