Abstract

Finansal
okuryazarlık kavramı, toplumun finansal sisteme katılımının en üst düzeye
ulaştığı günümüzde büyük önem kazanmıştır. Bu önemine istinaden iş hayatına
atılmayı bekleyen ve geleceğin finansal sisteminde taraf olacak üniversite
öğrencilerinin bu anlamdaki yeterlilikleri merak konusudur. Bu çalışmada
Bandırma Onyedi Eylül Üniversitesi öğrencilerinin finansal okuryazarlık
düzeylerinin ölçülmesi ve bu düzeylerin nelere göre farklılık gösterdiğinin
incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla çalışmanın başında giriş ve literatür
taramasına daha sonraki bölümlerinde araştırmanın yöntemi, analiz ve bulguları
ve sonucuna yer verilmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre Bandırma
Onyedi Eylül Üniversitesinde okuyan öğrencilerin finansal okuryazarlık
düzeyleri %58 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Cinsiyet, yaş, sınıf, bölüm gibi
demografik faktörlerin yanında finansal sisteme katılımla ilgili durumlara göre
öğrencilerin finansal okuryazarlık düzeylerinde farklılıklar olduğu
gözlemlenmiştir.
