The Differences Between How Parents and Society Teach Boys and Girls
Financial Awareness
(page 4)
Companies and organizations are also stepping to the forefront with
programs designed to educate teens in general and girls in particular.
Boys and Girls Clubs of America, in collaboration with Charles Schwab,
offer Money Matters: Make It Count programs in cities across the
country.
Visa works with Girl Scouts of the USA to provide two resources, the
Cashin’ In workbook and the Makin’ Cents web game, to teach girls aged
13-17 financial responsibility. The web game specifically challenges
players to find real-world solutions for characters’ financial
challenges.
With such programs increasingly popular and the need for women to
understand finances now a hot topic, it’s to be hoped that this
generation of fathers will teach their daughters as much about finance
as they teach their sons.
