O papel da educação financeira para a juventude: estratégias de construção de uma relação saudável com o dinheiro.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to present the role of financial education for youth through a training program for high school students as a strategy to promote a healthy relationship with money. The research method used in the study was qualitative and exploratory. Bibliographic research was employed for data and information collection. In the conducted research, it was observed that the indebtedness of young people in Brazil is increasing, and financial education can help reduce this indicator. Furthermore, based on the evaluation of the pilot project on financial education for high school students, it yielded relatively better results when compared to the control groups. The research results conclude that financial education is a highly relevant topic for high school students and is indispensable in shaping young individuals who are conscious of everything related to the financial system. Therefore, it is evident that financial education taught to young people in schools provides the necessary information so that in the near future, they not only gain clarity and balance in managing their family budgets but also acquire knowledge that leads to financial independence.
