Dear Ladies,

We invite you to participate in the research titled "Distribution of responsibilities within the family during the COVID-19 pandemic and financial literacy of women".

We are two professors/an assistant professor from the University of Split, Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism, with specialization in the field of management and finance.

Why are we conducting this research?

We are aware the unenviable position of women and the recent Covid-19 pandemic has further worsened it. Therefore, we would like to understand what influences women’s decisions to take on more or less family responsibilities during pandemic and if this relates to their financial literacy.

The data collected will help shaping future activities aimed at improving the position of women at work and in the family.

You can participate in the research by taking this short survey. It takes 5 minutes to complete. All answers are anonymous and they cannot be linked in any way to the identity of the person who responds.

In the survey, we will ask you to rate how you deal with evolving responsibilities at work and at home during the COVID-19 epidemic. Finally, we will ask you to rate your family’s financial position and answer three short financial questions.

We would appreciate it if you could forward this survey to women that are close and dear to you and ask them to complete it.

If you have any comment, suggestion or are interested in the results of the research, please contact us on e-mail address women_in_research@efst.hr.

Thank you in advance for your time and kindness.
