Finansal Eylem ve Finansal Okuryazarlık: Üniversite Öğrencilerine Yönelik Bir Araştırma

Finansal okuryazarlık, bireylerin kendilerini ve ailelerini finansal acıdan güvenceye almaları için gerekli bilgi, beceri ve tutumlardan oluşan bir kümedir. Üniversite öğrencileri için ise finansal okuryazarlık, öğrenim kredisi ya da kredi kartı kullanımı gibi temel finansal eylemler açısından önem arz etmektedir. Bu araştırmada bu iki temel finansal eylemi gerçekleştiren üniversite öğrencileri açısından finansal okuryazarlık düzeylerinin farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı araştırılmıştır. 335 öğrenci üzerinde yürütülen araştırmada, üniversite öğrencileri arasında bu kapsamda belirgin bir farklılığın bulunmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır

Financial Action and Financial Literacy: A Research on University Students

Financial literacy is a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for individuals to financial secure themselves and their families. For university students, financial literacy is important in terms of basic financial actions such as learning loans or credit card usage. In this research, we study whether the financial literacy levels differ in terms of university students performing these two basic financial actions. In the survey conducted on 335 students, we have concluded that there is no significant difference between university students in this context
