FINANCIAL LITERACY
Financial literacy programs have sprung up around the world, but experts say financial education doesn't start early enough and is not taught regularly. Some experts believe behaviors about money also need to be learned to create good financial skills and behavior later in life. Lack of money skills is also believed to have contributed to the 2008 credit crisis. One of the largest and oldest financial literacy programs is Junior Achievement, which uses simulated work environments to teach students about how to run businesses.
