Abstract

The concept of financial literacy is of vital importance both for the individual and the economy as a whole. The chapter analyses the different components of financial literacy from the Indian perspective. It is an attempt to throw light and carry out a comparative analysis between the financial acumen of working and non-working Indian women. The results of the study may serve as important inputs to the policy makers to develop strategies to enhance financial literacy among Indian women in particular and thereby help in nation building.
