8 ANALYTICAL GUIDELINES FOLLOWED TO CONSTRUCT THE INDEX The theoretical conceptual framework used in this study was derived from the OECD which specifies certain questions to be used in order to be able to determine scores. In measuring financial literacy in the various domains, certain questions had to be isolated and included as core measures. Each subgroups of question was converted to a scale to enable the researchers to compare and plot findings of the various domains on a single platform. Financial control Financial planning Choosing products Financial Knowledge Q1; Q5; Q16-Q18; Q27; Q29; Q38 (8 Questions) Q19; Q32; Q35; Q36; Q70 (5 Questions) Q42-Q43;Q51-Q52;Q64-Q65;Q71-Q72;Q98- Q100; Q102 (12 Questions) Q108-Q115 (8 Questions)
