A study commissioned by N26, a global mobile banking platform, identified in which U.S. cities women have the most economic opportunity or financial stability.

"Data has also shown that in countries where there is more gender parity, poverty drops and economies grow, while new research has shown that companies [that] foster female leadership perform better and increase profits," Adrienne Gormley, chief operating officer of N26, said in a statement. "No one can predict what the next year or even the next decade has in store for us, but one thing is clear, working towards advancing female leadership creates greater benefits for everyone."

Women have been especially shaken by the pandemic, as they often are responsible for child care and caregiving responsibilities, leaving them to juggle new remote work situations and homeschooling responsibilities.

"We conducted this study because we at N26 truly believe that women should have the same opportunities and freedom to be as financially independent as men, and this starts with having equal opportunity to be self-sufficient. The results show that women are still making incredible strides around the world as leaders in government, research and the corporate world despite the uphill battles they face," Gormley said.
