In the AUT Business School, especially the Department of Finance and Auckland Centre for Financial Research, we have extensive research expertise in personal finance, KiwiSaver, financial literacy, and financial inclusion.
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.
This session is designed for everyone interested in financial well-being.
