ECONOMIC /FINANCIAL LITERACY AND RETIREMENT SAVING - Model - Descriptive findings; - Empirical results. 6. ECONOMIC /FINANCIAL LITERACY AND ABILITY TO SAVE - Model - Descriptive findings - Empirical results 7. CONCLUSION 4
5 Motivation The rapid growth in household debt, low propensity to save and their link to the current financial crisis have emphasized insufficient economic & financial knowledge of consumers that casts serious doubts on their abilities to make financial decisions.

27 Reverse causality Possible reverse causality between economic and/or financial knowledge and retirement planning. Household could acquire knowledge: developing a retirement plan (Van Rooij, Lusardi & Alessie 2012); discussing retirement plans with others (Van Rooij, Lusardi & Alessie 2011b); investing in financial education (e.g. retirement seminars) to understand retirement plan (Lusardi & Mitchell 2011b).

33 Conclusion The lower the level of economic and financial literacy among individuals the more likely they are to report problems in paying their debts. Individuals with higher economic and/or financial literacy are more likely to save for retirement. Economic and/or financial literacy influences pension saving behaviour rather than the other way around.
34 Conclusion There is strong positive correlation between economic literacy and ability to save. Previous training in Economics/Finance positively influences household ability to save. Therefore, economic/financial education becoming essential for the average household trying to decide how to balance its budget, buy a home, fund the children s education and ensure an income when the parents retire, etc.
35 Implications Indeed, widespread lack of economic and financial knowledge is a reasonable cause for concern. Consequently, more work is clearly needed to develop ways of measuring the success of financial education programmes, and governments need to invest time and money in evaluating them. Complementary role of additional research on economic and financial literacy.
36 Limitations and further work Small sample. For future research: Separate the impact of economic education on economic/financial ability and knowledge from other channels.
