Vzdělávání finanční gramotnosti se zaměřením na věkovou populaci do 20 let

This work aims to describe financial literacy in young people in the Czech Republic. It firstly states the basic definitions related to financial literacy and puts them into the context of the Czech Republic based on multiple surveys run by both state institutions and non-profit organizations. The theoretical part also mentions the level of bank products currently accessible on the market; financial literacy is shown in relation to the offer and marketing. An important aspect is the socio-economic development in the Czech Republic since 1989 when the planned economic system was replaced by the market economy. The final segment of the theoretical part focuses on children from foster homes and on teaching financial literacy to them. It mentions why it is important to preventively include teaching financial literacy in schools, and it describes the circumstances in which young adults leave foster care institutions. I have also mentioned the non-profit organizations focused on this issue, although more about them is written in the empirical part. The empirical part serves as a show of practice in contrast with the previously written theory. It contains a description of a new project from an organization focused on developing financial literacy in foster homes, and out of three interviews in which teachers and the founder of the non-profit organization Mise naděje describe their experience in this area.
