Programs and policies designed to promote higher levels of
financial capability among youth have proliferated in recent years
in the aftermath of the recent economic crisis. This trend is
fueled by the growing recognition that more must be done to equip
young people with the knowledge, skills and attitudes that will
serve as the basis for a lifetime of sound financial decision-
making. The recent Executive Order establishing the President s
Advisory Council on Financial Capability for Young Americans and
the recent announcement of the Financial Literacy Education
Commissions (FLEC) new strategic focus on "Starting Early for
Financial Success" are both significant markers of increased levels
of commitment and dedication among national policy makers to this
important issue. This book examines the findings from the Assessing
Financial Capability Outcomes (AFCO) Youth Pilot, and provides
options and ways to save and invest for students.
Each anthology is composed of a wide spectrum of primary sources
written by many of the foremost authorities in their respective
fields. This unique approach provides students with a concise view
of divergent opinions on each topic. Extensive book and periodical
bibliographies and a list of organizations to contact are also
included.
