The FINPOWER Erasmus+ Project has developed a Policy Recommendations Document to tackle the gender gap in financial literacy and support women’s financial independence. Research shows that women often have lower financial literacy levels than men, which can impact their financial decision-making, access to financial services, and long-term economic stability.

This document outlines key policy measures for policymakers, educators, and financial institutions to improve women’s financial education. It emphasizes the integration of financial literacy into national education systems, the development of community-based training programs, and the establishment of EU-wide financial literacy benchmarks. Special focus is placed on digital learning solutions, including the FINPOWER Online Academy, which provides flexible financial education.

Additionally, the recommendations highlight the need for trainer support, monitoring systems, and national financial literacy initiatives to ensure sustainability and long-term impact. By adopting these measures, stakeholders can help close the financial literacy gap, empowering women to make informed financial decisions and achieve greater economic independence.
