Did you know about the existence of the so-called Pink Tax? This is a markup that is introduced on women's goods, similar to men's. For example, the same shampoo, designed differently for women and for men, will differ in price.
Women in Ukraine are also more expensive:
Credits. The study confirmed that banks give women loans at a higher interest rate, even though they go bankrupt less often than men.
Clothes. Underwear - by 29%, shirts - by 13-15%, jeans - by 10%, sweaters - by 6% and even socks - by 3%.
Not to mention the complex of costs and measures for self-care. On average, Ukrainian women spend 2 times more on cosmetics and care products than Ukrainian men.
And at the same time, women earn 22% less than men and save less.
In addition, due to the birth and upbringing of children, we have less time and opportunities for career, business and self-improvement.
It is more difficult for women to manage personal finances, engage in financial planning and investing. Also, ladies feel less confident compared to men, and often make financial mistakes.
