FL4ALL and financial literacy: Growing in importance
Financial literacy is growing in importance as many young adults – otherwise known as Gen Z – are now entering the workforce.
According to a survey conducted by Interac, 42% of Gen Zs say they are more likely to feel stressed than other generations regarding their financial situation. Thirty-seven per cent (37%) describe feeling anxious about how they can manage their money in a cost-of-living crisis, while 31% say they feel overwhelmed.
