| Annotation | The research uses demographic information to explore how women's different life stages and work and family experiences affects their long-term needs for financial products and services. To identify whether women really do have different needs as financial consumers, current patterns of consumption of financial products are examined by gender. There is little difference regarding financial product ownership between men and women in similar social positions and roles. However, there are wide variations in ownership amongst different groups of men and women - mainly because women are more likely to be working part-time or on low incomes due to caring responsibilities. The one general area where there are significant differences between groups of men and women relates to pensions. Future trends and how financial products are marketed to women are considered.
