Young Women More Likely to Worry About Money Than Young Men: Study

A study conducted by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) indicates that young women worry more and are less confident about their financial prospects than young men.

The study, which was conducted by Harris Decima and released in September, found that

• Females are more likely than males to worry about money (62% vs. 49%) and to wish they were better at saving money (55% vs.44%).
• Males are more likely than females to say they will be wealthier than their parents (53% vs. 40%)
