  3. More women in Australia own smartphones (67%) than anywhere in the world, followed by South Korea (65%), China (57%) and Italy (57%).

  5. Women in the U.S. talk 28 percent more and text 14 percent more than men on their mobile phones every month.
  6. Globally, women are 25 percent more likely than men to rely on friends or family for advice on personal finance matters.
