Relationship between Financial Literacy and Student Background
This chapter examines the relationship between students’ financial literacy and the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of these students and their families. In particular, the chapter looks at performance differences across gender, socio-economic status, parents’ education, parents’ occupation, immigrant background, and language spoken at home. The chapter then analyses how these different factors may be related to observed variations in students’ financial literacy.
