Financial Literacy and Progressive Public Policy and Regulation
Video
1:45PM - 3:00PM
This session will explore in a practical fashion some of the progressive financial literacy public policy initiatives presently underway in places such as Australia, where financial literacy is mandated, to the United Kingdom, where kids are given a bank account at birth, to proposed and pending current legislation which frames and connects financial literacy in the context of the global economic crisis, and government’s myriad to it. This plenary will also review the recommendation of the U.S. President’s Council on Financial Literacy in its annual report to the President.
