On the role, determinants, and consequences of financial literacy

In spite of the consensus that financial literacy is an important determinant for optimal financial decision-making, existing research often only considers the overall degree of financial literacy, while the analysis of financial literacy of specific groups remains under researched.

Based on innovative scientific research, this PhD aims at contributing to the existing literature on financial literacy in general and the understanding of financial literacy in Belgium in specific by analysing the financial literacy and financial behaviour of financially vulnerable cohorts. A number of policy recommendations will be formulated based on the research results.
