FLIT.ie Empowering Women to Financial Security

Is FLIT women-only?

'Empowering women to Financial Security' ..... hmm is that a bit exclusionary???

In Ireland, women experience a per-hour salary gap of 11.2% (2023), and average €120K less in retirement pension savings.

Household resource management is still primarily a female responsibility - including financial admin: oversight of childcare, educational, medical and care arrangements, for younger and older dependents. Caring responsibilities fall primarily to women - childbearing, childrearing, and elder care. This disrupts careers, and impacts women's lifetime earning capabilites.

The FLIT approach is not so much that men are excluded, rather that women are prioritised:

  • Lifestage themes - allows for changing priorities and focus
  • Appropriate presentation, tone and content
  • Short lessons for busy people
  • Coaching approach
  • Personalisation - tailored content
  • Task tracking - linking learning to actions
  • Community/sharing emphasis

SDGs: Sustainable Development Goals

We believe FLIT should prioritise female financial education, and that financial wellness is key to overall wellness

And prioritising female education leads to stronger communities and structures, with increased participation on an equal basis
