10th-11th October 2019, Rio de Janeiro, at the “Symposium on financial education and the annual meeting of the OECD/CVM Centre on financial education and literacy, in America and in the Caribbean”
The Symposium has seen speakers from different corners of the world bring to the audience attention their respective domestic experiences in the financial education field. One element was common in all the experiences shared: digital technologies are increasingly integrated into the financial industry and their impacts are steadily harder. Furthermore, it has been discussed about the new generations and the PISA 2015 results that allow us to compare the financial literacy level of 15-years-old boys and girls students from all over the world. These data increase our awareness of the urgent need for financial education to create a well-functioning ecosystem, where financial education is the water, which is fundamental for life.
The initiative aims to analyze the barriers that limit gender equality in education areas, in the labor world and in entrepreneurship, in order to monitor the progress that governments made and to provide best practices based on analytical and reliable data.
