Abstract

Financial education is the process that allows individuals to develop skills for making financial decisions efficiently in different areas of life. The objective of this study is to systematize contributions, issues and trends in research on financial education from the social or economic sphere. This theoretical review uses a qualitative descriptive documentary design with article-type secondary sources carried out according to the guidelines suggested by Tranfield et al. (2003) for Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR). The results show authors' contributions in the following thematic areas: financial behavior, financial literacy, socio-demographics and gender, corporate social responsibility and sustainability, business performance, entrepreneurship and poverty, digital finance, corporate governance, ethics and financial inclusion, and household finance.
