Paper Title
Financial Literacy Measurement in High- School Students

Abstract
The paper measures the financial literacy of youth in Greece derived from the examined aspects of financial knowledge, behaviours and attitudes that high school students performed. The findings reveal that less than half participant high school students have an acceptable level of financial literacy. Also, students who are in the top of their class cohort exhibit higher levels of financial literacy. We also find that the father’s education level has a significant effect on financial literacy. Students who keep records of their income and expenses are likely to show better levels of financial literacy than students who do not. Students’ perception/estimation of their parents’ income changes is also related to their levels of financial literacy. We conclude that that financial education initiatives should be embedded in schools in order to embrace the young generation. JEL classification: A20; D14; G53; I21.
