AUSÊNCIA DE INFORMAÇÕES ECONÔMICAS COMO FATOR MOTIVADOR DO DESINTERESSE DA POPULAÇÃO BRASILEIRA

The main bibliographic contribution of this work is the eminent article, by Johnston (2005), in which the importance of financial education in contemporary societies is addressed, evidencing its absence in the national context in comparison with other countries. The study will be developed through searches and literature review in physical and digital collections. The purpose of the Expanded Summary is to introduce readers to the main subject described in the title, illustrating its relevance to current societies, and the impact on the financial market. Justifies the writing of this text, the lack of public policies aimed at the introduction of children and young people in the economic sector. As a complementary theoretical model, articles by André Saito (2007), published in digital media, were used. At the end of this work, it is concluded that the Brazilian people have a relevant investment potential, however, there is still a long way to go to reach its peak of development.
