Financial Inclusion: The importance of financial literacy and the promotion of better labour market outcomes for women and youth

Young people can be the drivers of inclusive transformation. Nonetheless, with low levels
of financial literacy and even lower employment opportunities, they are faced with severe
challenges.
Young people and women must be encouraged to seize the opportunities of the digital age
and the circular economy to actively participate in the financial sector. A financially aware and
inclusive culture, which ensures access to financial products and services at both the local
and the international level, must be promoted, leveraging the advantages of digitalisation.
