Three pieces of research: 90 percent of children under one year use handheld interactive devices. This includes the exposure and effect of invisible money with the digitalisation of finance and banking.
The University of Cambridge said that money behaviour gets set by the age of seven. Meanwhile, the Australian financial planning commission said parents don’t want to speak to children about finance and money as it is a burdening topic.
These are all sides of the same coin. So we joined the dots together. Since the children’s behaviour is changing due to heavy tech supply, we decided to change parenting as well. And at The FinKids, we decided to de-burden the parents and make the topic affirmative and positive.
With The FinKids, we are solving tomorrow’s problem today. Teaching kids about finances is the need of the hour and our interactive teaching methods only help them understand it better. After all, don’t we all want to raise financially responsible adults?

If her home and family seem to be impacted by her career then we expect her to prioritize her ‘responsibilities at home as a woman’ and leave her job.
The entrenched patriarchal norms have always perpetuated certain roles and responsibilities as falling specifically in the domain of either men or women. Traditionally, women have been associated with the domestic sphere while men have been considered the bread winner of the household. This division of roles has become so ingrained in our lives that we seldom come to question it. However, while not being questioned does give the system a certain level of legitimacy, it in no way proves its veracity.
This systematic division has resulted in a widely accepted notion whereby the public sphere is demarcated as a men’s zone and the private sphere as belonging to women. Consequently, women are expected to stay at home and manage the household chores while men are supposed to go out and make a living with no interest whatsoever in the running of the household.
This divide is said to be grounded in the intrinsic nature of men and women. Women are believed to be compassionate, affectionate and loving and these supposedly ‘feminine’ qualities make them the right fit for caring roles. Men, on the other hand are allegedly more sturdy, strong and bold and hence, the ones to deal with the ordeals of the outside world.
Investing in women means many things beyond the obvious meaning of this IWD2024 theme, as the many orgs doing stellar work can show us.
What does it mean to invest in women?
Telling the women in our lives how great we think they are? That we value the sacrifices they have made? (Usually though not necessarily only – a sacrifice of their aspirations, careers and earning potential in order to focus on family).
No, thank you. Just talk is no longer going to cut it. Roses and compliments are great, but it’s time people, leaders, organizations put their money, capital, resources on track instead.
