FIELD Webinar: Trends in Financial Literacy and Credit-Building Services, September 14th
In the current economic context — in which many are struggling under the burden of heavy consumer debt or even bankruptcy – credit scores have become exponentially more important in determining access to financial services. FIELD’s new publication, Financial Literacy and Credit-building Services Among Microenterprise Development Organizations explores how microenterprise programs are revisiting or expanding their efforts in this realm. This “scan of practice” documents both the current body of work in the field, and emerging and promising new directions taken by practitioners. The scan reviews literature on financial literacy, education and credit building, survey data from microenterprise organizations, and interviews and discussions with microenterprise practitioners.
