'Economics will be useful in an adult life' or the study of economics from teens' perspective

The report presents the results of the fourth edition of a study concerning the awareness and economic maturity of children and young people. The study was carried out, like in case of previous editions, in the form of an anonymous survey whose respondents were the pupils of elementary schools and lower secondary schools who participate the programs of non-formal education, namely the Children's University of Economics (EUD) and the Academy of Young Economist (AME). The survey has been constructed in such a way that allows for obtaining information in three main study areas: knowledge, skills and economic approaches as well as finances and entrepreneurship.
