Purpose

The study provides a comprehensive scoping review of women’s financial well-being, a key dimension of economic security, financial inclusion and gender equality in the post-pandemic context. This study aims to examine research trends and identify future research directions.

Design/methodology/approach

The study uses bibliometric and thematic content analysis within the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-2020 framework to analyze 159 peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus (2012–2023), identifying key contributors, research trends and gaps.

Findings

The findings reveal key contextual and personal determinants of women’s financial well-being, with dominant themes, including financial literacy, gender inequality, psychological well-being and institutional trust. The literature relies heavily on cross-sectional surveys, with limited use of qualitative, longitudinal and mixed-method approaches.

Research limitations/implications

The study highlights key gaps in theoretical integration, geographic diversity and contextual analysis, offering directions for future research and policy development.

Originality/value

This study contributes by synthesizing fragmented research, proposing an integrative conceptual framework and a working definition linking structural conditions and individual capabilities to women’s financial well-being.
