Abstract

Employing financial knowledge, financial attitude, and financial action as the proxy for financial capability, we investigates whether there is any mean-difference by gender and marriage. The estimation results are as follows: first, the married women have the lowest financial knowledge among four groups especially in general financial knowledge. Second, there is the mean-difference between married women and the other groups in investment horizon and self-assessment for investment ability. Third, the fund performance of married women is the lowest compared with the other groups. The findings imply that the financial capability of married women is the lowest among four groups.

본 연구는 성별 및 결혼여부에 따라 펀드투자자를 기혼여성, 기혼남성, 미혼여성, 미혼남성 등 4개 그룹으로 구분하여 이들의 금융역량 차이를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 기혼여성은 기혼남성, 미혼여성, 미혼남성보다 평균적으로 펀드용어 숙지, 펀드 및 일반금융 지식이 낮았다. 둘째, 기혼여성과 미혼그룹(여성 및 남성)의 평균 투자기간 차이는 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 투자실력평가에서도 기혼여성이 남성(기혼남성과 미혼남성)과 유의한 평균차이를 보였으며 특히 미혼여성보다 차이가 크게 나타났다. 셋째, 기혼여성의 펀드수익률이 가장 낮았으며, 미혼여성과는 평균 차이가 유의하지 않았으나 남성(기혼남성과 미혼남성)과는 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 기혼여성의 금융역량은 상대적으로 다른 그룹보다 부족한 것으로 나타났다.
