In this episode of 'The Investing Show,' Robin Powell interviews Dr. Ylva Baeckström, an academic author and campaigner, about the challenges faced by women in the financial industry.

Dr. Baeckström highlights the importance of promoting diversity and inclusivity within the financial sector. Women are often excluded from seeking financial advice and investing, resulting in significantly lower pension savings compared to men. She also discusses historical factors that have shaped women's perception of finance and calls for parents to educate their children, especially daughters, about money management from an early age.

The discussion concludes with Abraham Okusanya, the co-host, expressing agreement with Dr. Baeckström's perspective and emphasising the need for significant changes in hiring practices and the portrayal of financial advice as a relationship-building profession. As a parent himself, Abraham acknowledges the responsibility of parents in fostering financial literacy among children and shares his commitment to continuing their education in this area.
