Financial education is increasingly important, and not just for investors. It is becoming essential for the average family trying to decide how to balance its budget, buy a home, fund the children’s education and ensure an income when the parents retire.

This Policy Brief looks at the importance of financial education, and how the OECD is helping governments achieve it. One key challenge is convincing people that they are not as financially literate as they think they are.
