In 2015, 65.4% of women and 71.7% of men between the ages of 18 and 70 had some financial product hired. By 2021, this female proportion was reduced to 61.9%, according to figures from the ENIF (National Survey of Financial Inclusion) reported by the inegi.
While for the male population the proportion increased to 74.3 percent.
These figures reflect that the arrival of the Covid-19 and its economic implications expanded the gender gap. Women are, for the most part, holders of credit or departmental cards; men have more savings accounts and mortgages.
