Women and Finance: Descartes Vorsorge launches blog format for women
Descartes Vorsorge has launched the "Women and Finance" blog - and has brought Irène Schäppi on board. The lifestyle journalist reports on personal experiences, but also shares in-depth knowledge on finance and pensions in collaboration with Descartes.
Issues such as the gender pay gap, poverty in old age and financial dependency, but also ignorance - due to a lack of interest or even convenience - are unfortunately still very much in vogue, even in the anniversary year of "50 years of women's suffrage in Switzerland". Why? Politics, social constraints and prejudices still make it difficult for women to gain easy access to the world of finance. With the newly launched "Women and Finance" format, Descartes Vorsorge aims to educate women about money and encourage them to actively and confidently take care of their finances.
To this end, the pension fund has hired lifestyle journalist and author Irène Schäppi, who openly admits to being an accounting chaos queen. In future, she will report on her own retirement provision journey with informative, authentic and sometimes provocative articles. In collaboration with the Descartes experts, she also wants to impart in-depth specialist knowledge.
