Brief description and objectives
The project Financial Education by Companies for Employees (FinMa) is dedicated to the development and evaluation of an innovative financial education programme for employees. The aim is to create a standard-compliant, scientifically based educational programme that is specifically tailored to the needs of this target group. A web portal with financial calculators, explanatory films and financial education seminars will be developed and integrated into companies' corporate benefits programmes. Practical handouts and brochures for consumers will also be produced. The project is based on DIN standards and international recommendations and aims to increase the financial literacy of the target group in the long term.
At the C3L, the focus of the project is on scientific evaluation and accompanying research. The University of Oldenburg is responsible for the following work packages:
- Measuring instrument for financial literacy
Development of a measuring instrument that assesses the financial literacy of the target groups. As part of a preliminary study, the instrument will be empirically evaluated, revised and adapted to the specific target groups. - Evaluation and optimisation
Consolidation of the evaluation results from the financial education offers and accompanying measurements of financial literacy. The results are used to optimise the skills framework, the didactic formats and the content of the educational offer. The psychometric quality of the measurement tool is also evaluated. - Effectiveness and sustainability
Conducting effectiveness research on the educational offers, in particular to improve the financial literacy and long-term financial behaviour of the target groups.
Target group
Employees who can benefit from innovative training programmes, especially through intermediaries such as employers.
