+ what the Fed could do about climate change; 'gentle parenting' challenges US Edition - Today's top story: There’s a financial literacy gender gap − and older women are eager for education that meets their needs [View in browser]( US Edition | 29 November 2023 [The Conversation] [The Conversation]( Top headlines - [A short history of US support for Israel]( - [How AI and robots can aid farmers]( - [Ancient Stoics are having a moment]( Lead story What did you learn about money in school? If you’re like most Americans, the answer is “not much.” For my first two decades of life, I thought people kept money in banks because that’s where the locked vaults are. It wasn’t until later that I learned about things like “liquidity” and “asset allocation,” and discovered that a bank is more than a mattress with security features. Those lessons were hard-won – embarrassingly so, since I’m, you know, an economics editor. I wish I had been taught basic things about money earlier in life. And in that, I’m not alone – especially among American women. [Women score worse on tests of financial literacy]( than men do, according to research from USC Dornsife social scientist Lila Rabinovich, even though the two groups show no differences in math skills or other abilities. Perhaps less surprising, Rabinovich also found that women – particularly older women – are eager to make up for lost time and educate themselves. [ [Science from the scientists themselves.
