Educação financeira: um estudo sobre o conhecimento dos jovens entre 18 e 20 anos na cidade de Manaus

Abstract

This work aims to encourage discussion about financial education and control over personal finances. The objective of this work is to discuss issues related to debt and default in Brazilian families, focusing on young people aged between 18 and 20 years. To this end, bibliographical research was conducted based on books and scientific articles, as well as a survey conducted among the population of the city of Manaus on the topic. Finally, it was concluded that the lack of financial education prevents the population from adequately planning how to manage their financial resources, which ends up pushing them into a spending adventure and the consequent debt, a reality provided by consumerism fueled by big promotions and festive dates.
