Building the Financial IQ of Generation Y
The Financial Literacy and Education Summit 2008 brings together public policy, education and private sector financial education advocates to discuss how best to help Generation Y (ages 18-25) establish a sound financial future. From debt proliferation to student loan repayments, Generation Y faces a more competitive and complicated financial world than any other generation before them. From the federal level to the local, policy makers, corporations, and educators face tough financial literacy questions including the role of policy and the role of financial education.
