| Sumario: | 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. |
