Overview: Students' financial literacy

Financial literacy is now globally recognised as an essential life skill. The PISA financial literacy assessment provides a picture of 15-year-olds’ ability to apply their financial knowledge and skills to real-life situations involving financial issues and decisions. This report looks at how students’ financial literacy varies across and within the 15 participating countries and economies, and how it is associated with student characteristics such as gender, socio-economic status and immigrant background. It also examines the association between students’ financial literacy and their experience with money matters and their expectations for the future.
