When it counts: numeracy and financial literacy in later life
I was recently invited to give oral evidence to the House of Lords Select Committee on Numeracy for Life at a session focusing on the needs of older adults. I focused particularly on the potential role of numeracy in protecting financial resilience and wellbeing in later life, through its role in financial literacy: the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours necessary to achieve financial wellbeing.
