Download or read book Enhancing K 12 Financial Education written by Louis T. Richardson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) believes integrating financial education throughout the K-12 experience represents a promising opportunity to reach consumers at pivotal points in their development and financial lives. When we start early with age-appropriate and relevant financial education and consistently reinforce those lessons throughout the K-12 years, we can give young people more chances to develop positive habits and behaviors. The CFPB developed a resource guide to help connect policymakers with tools, information, and insights to enhance K-12 financial education efforts. This book includes the guide, which will likely be most relevant to state policymakers who seek to advance the development and implementation of K-12 financial education. Furthermore, the CFPB is working toward an improved marketplace by providing effective rules, consistent oversight, and evenhanded enforcement. Moreover, the authors seek to ensure that product marketing and disclosures are transparent, so individuals may compare products and make informed decisions, and they briefly outline and discuss five essential strategies that they believe could positively transform the financial lives of a generation of young Americans.

Book excerpt: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) believes integrating financial education throughout the K-12 experience represents a promising opportunity to reach consumers at pivotal points in their development and financial lives. When we start early with age-appropriate and relevant financial education and consistently reinforce those lessons throughout the K-12 years, we can give young people more chances to develop positive habits and behaviors. Helping consumers acquire financial capability is an integral part of the CFPB's consumer financial protection mission, as reflected in numerous provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.1 The Act charges the Bureau with researching, developing, promoting, and implementing financial literacy programs and activities. The CFPB developed this resource guide to help connect policymakers with tools, information, and insights to enhance K-12 financial education efforts. The guide will likely be most relevant to state policymakers-notably state treasurers, state superintendents, governors, state legislators, state government associations, and their respective staff-who seek to advance the development and implementation of K-12 financial education. However, the CFPB designed this resource guide so all members of the financial education community could benefit from the framework, case studies, and resources we have provided. Achieving meaningful and lasting change requires bold and innovative approaches, and involvement of the broad range of stakeholders with a role in implementing financial education. Embedding financial education within K-12 education can better prepare students for the financial challenges they are likely to encounter in higher education and the workplace. Recent research suggests that, students who receive K-12 financial education achieve significantly higher savings and net worth later in life.2 Furthermore, carefully implemented high school financial education requirements are linked to improved credit scores and lowered probability of delinquency in young adulthood for students in select states with financial education requirements. The CFPB aims to support leaders interested in encouraging K-12 financial education by fostering connections among the financial education community and growing the conversation around K-12 financial education initiatives. In 2013, the CFPB furthered these efforts by hosting a national conference on youth financial education and capability and releasing a whitepaper with recommendations for advancing K-12 financial education.

Download or read book Financial Literacy and Responsible Finance in the FinTech Era written by John O.S. Wilson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing body of evidence suggests that financial literacy plays an important role in financial well-being, and that differences in financial knowledge acquired early in life can explain a significant part of financial and more general well-being in adult life. Financial technology (FinTech) is revolutionizing the financial services industry at an unrivalled pace. Views differ regarding the impact that FinTech is likely to have on personal financial planning, well-being and societal welfare. In an era of mounting student debt, increased (digital) financial inclusion and threats arising from instances of (online) financial fraud, financial education and enlightened financial advising are appropriate policy interventions that enhance financial and overall well-being. Financial Literacy and Responsible Finance in the FinTech Era: Capabilities and Challenges engages in this important academic and policy agenda by presenting a set of seven chapters emanating from four parallel streams of literature related to financial literacy and responsible finance. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of The European Journal of Finance.

But it certainly helps in life. It is important to have enough of it to satisfy our needs and to secure ourselves from emergency situations. That's what adults think. And what about the youth? What is their approach to money, what do they know about finances and how are their skills in everyday financial management coming along? What kind of knowledge and skills should be provided? Do young people in different countries represent similar or different approaches to financial matters? Using the results of a research on young people in Poland and Germany, the authors draw a picture of financial literacy. They furthermore present a number of recommendations that help developing the knowledge and the financial skills of young people in practice.
