Abstract:
This paper contains comparison of level of financial literacy of the population of the developed countries, the actions undertaken by the governments of these countries for increase of level of awareness on financial services. The paper is based on the findings from an OECD International Network on Financial Education pilot study undertaken in 14 countries. The analysis focuses on variations in financial knowledge, behaviour and attitude across countries and within countries by socio-demographics. The results of this analysis provide evidence from which the participating countries can identify needs and gaps and develop appropriate national policies and strategies.
