Is there any research to back up the claim that women rate financial security more than males?

Answer 1

Yup.

Research like that is done almost every decade if not more frequent. Also feeling of personal safety (in the street) ranks pretty high with women.
Don't ask me if it is on the net..pretty sure it is but don't know where.

Answer 2

Yes. I saw that posted in an issue of Reader's Digest in an info box, but it didn't say where they got thier info.
