Abstract

This article provides a high-level overview of the 32 chapters in The Routledge Handbook of Financial Literacy. Among the observations are the importance of the definitions researchers and educators choose to guide their work in financial literacy, the importance of measurements that are consistent with the definitions, and the importance and challenges of customizing financial education to match the needs of the audience. The article also highlights a number of questions for future researchers to investigate.
