Parental income is one of the factors that can influence a person's financial literacy. This is because one of the sources of income for students to live their lives is through financial resources from parents. Therefore, the finances obtained will determine how a person can manage their expenses. In addition, the reduction in parental income due to the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in reduced students income. Despite the reduction in income among parents, students still spend beyond their capacity and are unable to manage their finances properly. This is because low levels of financial literacy cause a person to be unable to manage his finances properly. Good financial management can help student undergraduates to avoid financial stress and other financial difficulties. Realising the issues and importance of financial literacy in life, there is research done to identify the relationship between parental income and financial literacy. But the results obtained by previous researchers are mixed. Therefore, the study focused on introducing a framework of concepts related to the relationship between parental income and the financial literacy of students and students.

One problem for sustainability of systems pensions is how people without specialized financial training could manage their resources and their actual personal intentions towards retirement. Research objective is to analyse the relationship among several factors that affect the behaviour towards retirement, the financial management practices and the financial resources, by carrying out a structural equation model (SEM) that was tested in Spanish workers sample in three phases. The influence of financial literacy, financial retirement objectives, optimism on retirement, tolerance to financial risk, and the commitment to financial planning at time 1, are analysed as explanatory variables of financial management practices at time 2. Financial resources for retirement at time 3 are explained by financial management practices. According to results, the model can predict the 36% of the variance of financial management practices and 53% of the variance of financial resources for retirement. Thus, the model can be used for checking of knowledge of the personal financial behaviour before retirement, what enables a better personal financial planning. It would be possible to apply a model based on self-assessment in order to implement a complementary financial planning that would allow to maintain the welfare during retirement.

Previous researches show that although the persons have a lot of debts, they feel satisfied with their financial status. Conversely with those who are in good financial wellness with their wealth of life. Additionally, two elements have been discussed in relation to the income earner’s financial wellness which is economic well-being and financial well-being. Imbalance of financial wellness among low-medium income earners is due to reducing in employment opportunities, income instability and increase the number of family members. Therefore, personal financial management is important to ensure good or bad financial wellness among income earners. In this paper, financial literacy and financial stress are considered to determine the relationship of financial wellness. The result showed that both factors are significant with a strong positive relationship. It is important to describe the ability of income earners manage their money and apply the knowledge to make an effective financial decision. Thus, the organization should imply the financial education programs to their employees that can enhance financial literacy and reduce financial stress. Further research should be explored the other determinant factor such as financial self-efficacy and financial help-seeking behavior. These factors will improve the low-medium income earners’ financial wellness by seeking financial help as well as reducing financial stress.

The study also attempts to understand the role of demographic factors (age, gender, monthly income, job category and work experience) in determining financial wellbeing through multigroup analysis.Design/methodology/approachStructured equation modelling (SEM) is used to study the link between the determinants. The study also attempts to understand the role of demographic factors (age, gender, monthly income, job category and work experience) in determining financial wellbeing through multigroup analysis. Data used for the analysis covers 237 employees working in the IT sector.FindingsWhile financial literacy and financial behaviour have a significant positive impact on financial wellbeing, financial stress has a significant negative impact. Financial behaviour and financial stress were found to have a mediating role in the relationship between financial literacy and financial wellbeing.

The current state of the financial industry is starting to provide various products and services to help individuals overcome their financial difficulties. To pursue the expansion of the financial industry, individuals must be financially literate in helping them manage their financial products and services. This paper aims to determine factors of financial literacy that influence women’s wealth accumulation. This research produced a simple conceptual framework on the relationship between financial literacy and women’s wealth accumulation based on literature synthesis. The framework suggested that financial knowledge, financial behaviour, and financial attitude will influence financial literacy. In contrast, as moderating factors, demographics will also influence women’s financial literacy. Thus, financial literacy will influence wealth accumulation.

Faculty-entrepreneurs started their business using savings and personal money.  Over time, with an insufficient amount of capital and to maximize business operation, faculty-entrepreneurs incur debt. Findings on financial literacy, financial capability, financial management, and faculty's financial well-being were very low and negative. So far, there is a dearth of studies that have been conducted on financial leverage, particularly on the faculty who are engaged in business. Financial leverage refers to the source of business capital used in the form of equity and debt. The paper explored the level of financial leverage in terms of equity and debt of faculty of higher educational institutions when they are taken as a whole and grouped according to age, sex, and gross monthly business income. Likewise, it determined the difference in the level of financial leverage in terms of equity and debt when teachers are grouped according to the aforementioned demographics. Also, it explored the relationship between equity and debt.  Likewise, it determined the result of financial leverage in their investment practices.

Age plays an important role in the financial behavior of people. Financial matters are usually more seriously perceived at later stages of life. Nevertheless, the role of age in financial behavior is inconclusive. This study intends to add to the literature on financial behavior by focusing on the relationship between expenditure planning, gender and stress. The distinctive feature of this study is its scope and the sample of people participating in it. Besides being young, the participants are pre-service teachers. Hence, studying their financial behavior also augurs well for the nation, for these are the shapers of its future. Using an online survey, 127 pre-service teachers responded to 17 questions, dwelling mainly on their financial behavior. Logistic regression was then used to identify whether expenditure planning is related to stress and gender. The findings reveal that the failure to plan one’s expenditures could cause stress and in which gender could be the determinant factor. Thus, it is recommended to take actions on higher rate of financial literacy among pre-service teachers.
