Conferences and events

The Auckland Centre for Financial Research is hosting several events in 2023.


2023 Problem Debt, Buy Now Pay Later & Young Adults in Aotearoa

(AUT City Campus, Auckland)
6 September 2023

Join AUT researchers Professor Aaron Gilbert and Dr Ayesha Scott in conversation with Sorted’s Tom Hartmann, as they discuss how Kiwi young adults use debt, buy now pay later, and if financial education is the answer.

Problem debt and over-indebtedness has serious well-being consequences, with young adults (aged 18-34 years) at acute risk. We assess young adults’ debt use, their attitudes to debt – focussing on buy now pay later – to see whether it contributes to problem debt, and investigate if financial education solves the problem.
