• Financial Literacy Survey

  • Financial literacy is the ability to understand how money works – how you make, manage and spend it.

     

    The National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA) is working with an organisation called TASC (Think Tank for Action on Social Change) to research financial literacy. We will use this research to learn how well people understand how money works, and how it could be easier to understand and use.

     

    It will take about 10 minutes to fill in.

     

    The information you give us in the survey is confidential and we cannot identify you from it.

     

    If you have any questions or need support to fill it in, please contact Alex O’Connor from TASC by email at aoconnor@tasc.ie
