There is growing literature evidence of a gender gap in a range of financial experiences, which have impact on individual and household financial well-being. Financial well-being is the ability of people to manage their finances without stress and to meet their financial commitments and needs comfortably, regardless of income levels. This study draws on EU time-series survey data from the European Commission Business and Consumer Survey, to investigate how a gender gap manifests in household and individual experience of both personal financial and macro-economic factors.
