Políticas públicas de educação financeira

do processo histórico às ações práticas em Instituições de Ensino Superior

Abstract

In current times, the urgency of financial education emerges in the midst of discussions that take place within multilateral organizations and governments around the world, with the purpose of building a society that is aware of the impact of their actions as individual financial agents in global society, through education. In this environment, the general objective of this article is to analyze the historical context of Financial Education as a public policy in Brazil, until reaching the mapping of the main practical actions in higher education, after the implementation of the National Strategy for Financial Education (ENEF). As for the methodology, a bibliographical survey is carried out of the scientific works published and made available on the Capes Portal and SciELO-Brasil platforms, in the period between 2011 and 2021, which address financial education as a public policy in the context of higher education. As a result, it is perceived that higher education students have been left out of public policies on the subject and Universities have acted timidly as disseminators of financial literacy and production of scientific knowledge, through academic publications that can contribute to the enhancement and expansion of ENEF's reach.
