• How Financially Literate Are High School and College Students? The Cases of the United States, Belarus, and Japan

The levels of financial literacy among students of the three countries, specifically, the U.S., Belarus, and Japan were analyzed to identify similarities and differences in the student performance on a standardized test. The authors generally find that, on the average, Belarusian university students performed better than high school students and Belarusian high school students demonstrated a similar level of achievement with American high school students who did not receive personal finance instruction. Japanese students outperformed both Belarusian and American students with and without personal finance training. There was consistently higher performance on the topic of Earning Income and lower performance on the topic Savings across the three nations.
