Financial literacy is one of the most important skills one can have. And while this skill is not exactly commonplace in Western Europe, the picture becomes even more drastic when looking at Eastern Europe – where in some countries, up to 80% of adults can be considered financially illiterate. In particular, woman can particularly be impacted by this gap. Cristina saw this gap – and started FeminEast, a movement to educate more women in Eastern Europe about financial literacy. Join us today as we discuss why financial literacy is so important, how it impacts different people across Europe, and also examine what can be done from the European level. ________________ Feel free to connect with Cristina Reach on instagram @cristinapogo / https://www.linkedin.com/in/cristinapogo/ Check out FeminEast: - Website: www.femineast.eu - Instagram: @femin_east / https://www.linkedin.com/company/femineast Learn more about some of the stats we mentioned: - EU barometer survey: https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/2953 - State of financial education in the EU: https://www.bruegel.org/policy-brief/state-financial-knowledge-european-union And, if you're in the Brussels area and would like to be on the BRUBBLE podcast, please contact Simon at brubblepodcast@gmail.com or connect with me on twitter @simon_vanhoeve)! ________________ **Please note that the BRUBBLE podcast is solely a personal project that contains only personal views and is not related to any entities or organizations*
