Teen Financial Literacy in Ukraine: New Research Findings

Recent findings indicate that youth in Ukraine exhibit a fundamental understanding of financial literacy.

This is reported by the National Bank of Ukraine.

The study shows that the average rate of correct responses to case questions among teenagers is 46.6%,

equivalent to 3 points on a 12-point grading scale.

The highest results were recorded among students from Dnipropetrovsk (57.4%), Ivano-Frankivsk (53.7%) regions, and the capital, Kyiv (50.4%).

The lowest results were found in Kirovohrad (37.4%), Mykolaiv (39.7%), and Chernivtsi (41.4%) regions.

Girls performed better (47.4%) compared to boys (45.6%). The statistics for urban and rural students are 48% and 40%, respectively.

Notably, no teenager managed to achieve 100% correct answers on all cases presented in the survey.

The research was conducted by specialists from the Ukrainian Institute for Social Research named after O. Yaremenko in April 2024. The participant sample was formed by employees of the State Scientific Institution "Institute of Educational Analytics".

During the study, over 3,000 students aged 14 to 17 from 19 regions of Ukraine and Kyiv were tested.
