Abstract

This study explores the saving behavior of working women, focusing on the factors that influence their financial decisions, the challenges they face and the patterns observed across different demographics. Through a mixed-methods approach involving surveys and in-depth interviews, the research reveals how income level, educational background, financial literacy, age and cultural influences shape the saving habits of working women. The findings highlight that while higher income and financial literacy contribute to better saving practices, cultural expectations and social norms often impose significant constraints. The study underscores the need for targeted financial literacy programs, tailored financial products and policy interventions to support the unique financial needs of working women, ultimately enhancing their economic security and independence.
