Financial Literacy and Self‐Employment

Abstract: In this paper, we study the relationship between financial literacy and self‐employment. We use established financial literacy questions to measure literacy levels. The analysis shows a highly significant and positive correlation between the index and self‐employment.

This could be a good recommendation for another research.…”
