with Denise LaBuda, Economic Independence Group, USA
Date: March 18, 2010
3:00 pm to 3:50 pm EDT
(see time in other time zones)
Description:
Worldwide economic forces, a great recession, personal needs and wants, dual income families, and societal pressures have converged to create a world in which each of us has the responsibility to learn about and actively manage our financial lives. While the importance of financial literacy as a basic life skill has become obvious to many parents, educators and policymakers, how to develop the skills in our children has remained a challenge. The life-long benefits of teaching children good money habits make it well worth the effort. Children who are not taught money skills often pay the consequences over their lifetime. In this forum we will review the current state of youth financial literacy, discuss the missing standards, explore developmental considerations, and dabble in the debate about who should lead the training: schools, businesses or parents? (Or is there a role for all three?)
