By Davide Castellani, Max Niño-Zarazua, Patricia López Rodríguez and Waruguru Ituu in collaboration with the European Microfinance Platform (e-MFP) ‘From Research to Practice and Back Again’ Action Group, May 2023.
e-MFP is pleased to share with you the Second Research Digest, "Building a Bridge Between Financial Education and Financial Health", a publication of the ‘From Research to Practice and Back Again’ Action Group (AG) aiming to explore research needs of practitioners by compiling and translating research conducted in the sector into practitioner-friendly language.
This publication focuses on understanding the relationship between financial education (FE) and financial health (FH), a still under-researched topic which is gaining traction among practitioners and researchers having been identified as one of the top research needs in a survey among financial inclusion practitioners conducted by the AG. It delves into the concepts/definitions, dimensions, and indicators related to FE and FH, and collected insights on practice from relevant stakeholders, including OECD, UNCDF, MSC, and Opportunity International in order to shed light on the relationships between FE and FH, and how these can ultimately contribute to improve the lives of low-income populations.
