Women in the Netherlands can earn up to 20% less than men for the same job in some business sectors. They also receive 40% less pension than men (Economische Commissie, June 2013).

As the number of women in the workforce is increasing in the Netherlands, particularly in part-time roles, the questions arise:
› Will women have sufficient money to be financially independent when they reach retirement age?
› Do women take responsibility for women's matters and know enough to create a safe financial future?

The European Professional Women's Network (EPWN) have developed a survey to investigate women's attitude to money.

For this reason they have joined forces with Women Inc. to gain a better understanding of:
› Dutch women's opinions on money
› How financially independent they are
› How much they know about financial planning
› Their role in financial organisations

EPWN will analyse and use the data (not only in the Netherlands but also across Europe) to compile a report and put the issue of reducing the remuneration gap on a higher political agenda.

The survey will take approximately 10 minutes. Participate now!

Notes

› The final results will be announced in September / October 2013.
› The survey closes on July 6, 2013.
