OK, so we've been looking at the___________ of various social and cultural

groups towards the management of their personal finances - how important they feel it is to save money, and what they save their money for. One ___________ that we haven't yet considered is ___________. So if we consider gender issues we're basically asking whether men and

women have different attitudes towards ___________ money, and whether they save money for different things: Back in 1928 the British writer George Bernard Shaw wrote in his Intelligent Women's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism that A man is supposed to understand ___________, economics and finance and is therefore unwilling to accept essential instruction.' lie also said, 'A woman, having fewer pretensions, is far more willing to learn'. Now, though these days people might question a lot of the ___________ contained in those statements, recent research does suggest that there are some quite ___________ differences between men and women in their attitudes to economic ___________. Let's look at what men and women actually save for. Research ___________ of women in North America have found that women are far more likely to save for their children's ___________ and they are also more likely to save up in order to buy a house one day. The same studies have found that men, on the other hand, tend to save for a car, which by the way takes a surprisingly large amount of the household ___________ in North America. But the other main ___________ for men when saving money is their retirement. When they're earning, they're far

more likely to put money aside for their old age than women are. Now this is rather ___________

, because in fact the need for women to save for their old age is far greater than for men. Let's consider this for a moment. To start with, it is a fact that throughout the world, women are likely to live many years longer than men, so they need money to support

them during this time. Since women are ___________ to be the ones left

without a partner in old age, they may therefore have to pay for nursing

care, because they don't have a ___________ to look after them.
