The “Using Financial Education to Fight Racial Inequality” webinar explores questions such as
How can greater financial literacy lessen racial inequality?
How can policy makers as well as business and nonprofit leaders improve financial education for Black Americans of all ages?
What does the gender difference in financial literacy and well-being within the Black American population mean for policies and programs?
How can private-sector and government leaders address the systematic biases that perpetuate inequality in financial well-being?

Discrimination against Black Americans has deep and unsettlingly strong roots in the United States. Historical racism contributes to current racial inequalities and continues to foster ongoing systematic biases. COVID-19 and the ensuing economic crisis have disproportionately affected the Black population. Our research indicates that even before the current crisis, the financial well-being of Black Americans was comparatively low.

Innovative solutions, whether they be policies or programs, must be research-based, extensive, tailored to the diverse needs and circumstances of the Black population, and evaluated for effectiveness.

In this webinar, Ted Beck, a member of GFLEC’s Advisory Council, moderates the discussion between Annamaria Lusardi, who speaks about GFLEC’s recent research on Black Americans, and Jason Young, an entrepreneur who speaks about his financial education initiatives, including e-games and programs to improve the financial literacy of Black male youth.
