Financial Literacy and Investment Behaviour of Working Women in Davangere District

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between financial literacy and investment behavior among 133 working women in Davangere District, Karnataka. Stratified Random Sampling is used. Using a structured questionnaire and SPSS for analysis, the findings reveal significant gaps in financial literacy, particularly regarding advanced products and risk management. However, a positive correlation between financial literacy and informed investment decisions underscores the need for targeted financial education to enhance women’s economic independence and investment confidence.
