Advancing Financial Education for Transnational Families
This research project has two interrelated objectives. The first objective is to design a financial literacy curriculum aimed at migrant households. The second objective is to produce a set of instructional DVDs on financial education using the contents of the curriculum. The ultimate purpose, which will be pursued in a separate study that we will seek grant funding for, is to carefully test the offering of these educational DVDs to migrant households using a randomized control trial approach. If there are positive impacts on financial behavior of the subjects, we would subsequently aim to disseminate these educational DVDs widely to the migrant community.
