| dc.description.abstract | Household financial vulnerability (FV) has gained interest among policymakers over the last two decades and seems to be more widespread among women. In this context, this paper has two objectives. Firstly, we explore the relationship between gender and the level of FV, both at household and individual levels. Secondly, we analyze whether the relationship between FV and other demographic and behavioral variables could be moderated by gender. To achieve these goals, a sample was obtained from the Survey of Financial Competences (ECF), referred to the 2016-17 period, which is made up of 8,038 individuals familiar with household finances. At the univariate level, the percentage of women in the higher values of the FV index (between 80 and 100 points) exceeds that of men. Moreover, a moderating role is observed through objective and subjective financial literacy. | |

En este contexto, este trabajo contempla dos objetivos. En primer lugar, se explora la relación entre el género y el riesgo de soportar VF, tanto a nivel del hogar como del individuo. En segundo lugar, se analiza si la relación entre la VF y otras variables demográficas y conductuales podría estar siendo moderada por el género. Para conseguir dichas metas se recurre a la muestra obtenida de la Encuesta de Competencias Financieras (ECF) referida al periodo 2016-17 y compuesta por 8.038 personas familiarizadas con las finanzas del hogar. A nivel univariante, el porcentaje de mujeres en los valores superiores del índice de VF (entre los 80 y los 100 puntos) excede al de los hombres. Además, se observa cierto papel moderador a través de la alfabetización financiera objetiva y la subjetiva. | |
