Promoting Better Lifetime Planning Through Financial Education

Edited by Naoyuki Yoshino (), Flore-Anne Messy and Peter Morgan

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Surveys show that financial literacy levels are typically low around the world, despite the widening access to financial services and the increasing financial risks borne by households in many countries. This suggests that there will be mounting challenges for households and SMEs to invest wisely and effectively as societies age and governments shift away from defined benefit to defined contribution pension schemes. Individuals will increasingly have to make complex financial decisions to plan for their retirement and for a range of foreseen and unforeseen expenditures. All of these developments suggest that financial education should be part of a lifetime process that starts at an early age and is pursued throughout adulthood.
