Implications of Financial Literacy on the Financial Resilience of Households and Economic Growth

Abstract

A population with a high level of financial education is more resilient, capable of making efficient and balanced financial decisions, thereby contributing to the sustainability of financial markets and the country's economic growth. Based on this premise, the aim of this study is to analyze the interdependence between the level of financial literacy, resilience, and the financial well-being of households. The applied methodology combines qualitative and quantitative methods. The method of logical abstraction facilitated the systematization of key concepts. Analytical tools such as correlation analysis were used to evaluate the strength of the relationships between the analyzed variables, identifying the most relevant factors influencing economic growth and the financial resilience of households. The results obtained include the systematization and generalization of the determinants of financial behavior and financial literacy levels. The analysis of the main patterns of household financial behavior confirmed the hypothesis that choosing financial strategies requires a certain level of financial competence. Undoubtedly, financial education is one of the most important factors for both national economic growth and the increase of household incomes. Moreover, financial education is an essential tool in combating poverty and ensuring sustainable well-being. CZU: 336.01:330.35; JEL: O12; D14; O16; D31
