🌐 Understanding Financial Literacy: Insights from NEW #PISA 2022 report 📊
15-year old students actively use financial products and services but their levels of financial literacy should continue to be improved. This is essential to help them better manage their money at a young age and help them navigate new challenges in an increasingly digitalised financial landscape. Schools, parents and the immediate environment all have an important role to play.
Key insights from the financial literacy assessment of 15-year-olds:
💡 Socio-economic background matters: Socio-economic factors significantly influence financial literacy, with advantaged students outperforming disadvantaged peers.
💰 Spending & saving behaviours: Students who excel in financial literacy are more likely to compare prices before purchases and save money.
👥 Parental involvement & school exposure: Regular discussions about money matters positively correlate with higher financial literacy scores. Students exposed to finance-related terms in school demonstrate better financial literacy performance.
The need to improve financial literacy skills remains high. Governments should consider strengthening financial education in school, reinforcing financial literacy among parents, and ensure that opportunities to access and use financial services, in particular online, are safe and age appropriate.
