Bibliometric Study on Financial Literacy between 1984-2021

Abstract

Financial literacy is a combination of awareness, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors that a person needs to make healthy financial decisions and ultimately achieve individual financial well-being. Financial literacy is a basic need for everyone to avoid financial problems. Financial difficulties are not only a function of income alone (low income). Financial difficulties can also arise if there is an error in financial management (mismanagement), such as misuse of credit and the absence of financial planning. Financial literacy, which is getting more attention in many developed countries, has made us realize how important the level of financial literacy is. This study aims to determine the development trend of Financial Literacy research published by leading journals indexed by scopus. The data analyzed consisted of 1756 indexed research publications. The data is then processed and analyzed using the VoS viewer application to find out the bibliometric map of the development of Financial Literacy research.
