Abstract

New Zealand has an international reputation for its early promotion of financial education and information. Governments in many other countries are now sponsoring financial education programmes in efforts to improve apparently low levels of financial literacy. But despite it being such a hot public policy topic, there has been little evaluation of the effectiveness of financial education.
