Financial Illiteracy
The lack of financial-digital literacy exists in pockets of populations globally. In countries such as the UK, it can be seen in women from lower socio-economic backgrounds, the elderly population, and more, and it exposes people to higher risks of fraud and mismanagement of personal funds. In addition to this, with changing and advancing technology, rising cyber threats and inadequate education provided in schools, the general population is not equipped to make sound financial decisions.
