Abstract
Leveraging data from the 2021–2022 Global Findex surveys encompassing 134 countries, we find evidence suggesting that women face greater difficulty mobilizing emergency funds within 7 and 30 days. This gender gap is more pronounced in emerging markets, bank-based financial systems, and civil law countries, highlighting the need for context-sensitive policy interventions to address institutional constraints and strengthen women’s financial resilience.
