Financial education of children

What's the importance?

The world of finance seems far from a child only at first glance. In fact, children are included in the economic life of the family very early. When they go to the store with their parents, watch advertisements on TV, they receive an envelope with money as a gift from their grandparents.

Therefore, it is important to introduce children to financial and economic relations as early as possible, starting from 5-6 years old. By this time, they begin to develop logical thinking and increase interest in the adult world.

Financial literacy is developed as a child grows up and goes through various life stages: the first independent trip to the store, paying for travel, receiving pocket money, etc.

What should a child know?

Now let's talk about what children should know about the world of money and finance. All information can be divided into 5 large groups.

The first group is knowledge about money:

• what kind of money is there?
• how you can use money;
• how to count money correctly;
• spending money wisely;
• how to learn to save money;
• ways to protect funds.

The second group is knowledge about needs:

• what are the needs;
• desires and capabilities of a person.

The third group is knowledge about the product:

• familiarization with the concepts of “price”, “purchase”, “sale”;
• what determines the price of a product;
• how to determine the quality of a product.

The fourth group is knowledge about work:

• what kind of work there is, getting acquainted with professions;
• how to determine the product of labor;
• remuneration, familiarization with the concept of “wages”;

Fifth group – knowledge about the budget:

• what is a budget, what does it consist of;
• family expenses and income;
• what sources of income may be;
• ways to save your budget.

This information will help the child become familiar with and navigate basic economic concepts.

What is financial literacy?

Financial literacy is the knowledge, skills and abilities that a person needs to make smart financial decisions, as well as to achieve financial well-being.

A financially literate person is a person who:

• knows how to competently handle funds, preserve and increase them;
• keeps records of income and expenses;
• navigates the economic situation of the country;
• can recognize signs of financial fraud;
• fulfills its obligations as a taxpayer;
• knows how to navigate banking services.

For a long time, it was believed that financial literacy was necessary only for employees of financial institutions. But a 2017 survey by the National Financial Research Agency found that people are increasingly complaining about a lack of economic and financial knowledge that would help them, for example, avoid taking part in dubious financial transactions. And only 12% of respondents believe that they have a sufficient level of financial awareness.

Therefore, our country is now actively pursuing a policy to increase financial literacy among the adult population and the younger generation. Special literature is published for children, and economic games and applications are created. Information sites and online courses on personal finance management are intended for adults.
