On My Own: Boosting Financial Literacy Among Disadvantaged Youth in Peru
Young adults can greatly benefit from financial education because they are starting to earn money and manage their personal finances. We use a randomised control trial to estimate the impacts of #PorMiCuenta (#OnMyOwn), an online asynchronous edutainment-based financial education program, on financial literacy among poor post-secondary scholarship recipients. We find this program has a large take-up (74%) and it improves financial knowledge (by 19.7 percentage points (p.p.)), abilities (22.8 p.p.), attitudes (23.7 p.p.), and behaviour (16.5 p.p.). Our findings suggest this type of financial education approach can be very effective and useful for targeting disadvantaged young adults.
期刊介绍:
Whilst the Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics publishes papers in all areas of applied economics, emphasis is placed on the practical importance, theoretical interest and policy-relevance of their substantive results, as well as on the methodology and technical competence of the research.
Contributions on the topical issues of economic policy and the testing of currently controversial economic theories are encouraged, as well as more empirical research on both developed and developing countries.
