Adjournment Speech: Supporting financial literacy for women
For this adjournment, Samantha Ratnam MLC asks the Minister for Women to meet with the two young founders and co-directors of Vida.
Vida is a financial literacy educational initiative targeted at young women aged 14 to 25 and their parents. Vida knows that Australia’s gender wealth gap begins in youth. While financial literacy forms part of the Victorian schools curriculum, it is still overwhelmingly underdelivered in schools, and informal education from parents and families tends to favour young men over women.
We need more support for initiatives, like Vida, that improve financial literacy education for women.
