Explorando os Determinantes do Bem-Estar Financeiro no Brasil
Keywords:
financial well-being, financial literacy, behavioral finance, personal finance, socioeconomic variablesAbstract
This study addresses the determinants of financial well-being in Brazil by estimating the effects of individual characteristics, investments, and socioeconomic variables. The research was based on the CVM-SPC data survey carried out in 2019, which involved the main metropolitan regions of the country. By the identification of demanded financial products, we found signs of the importance of financial literacy on Brazilians financial well-being. The results support the hypothesis that income is one of the main determinants of financial well-being and it also indicate clear evidence of differences in financial well-being between genders. Regional and educational aspects presented different results than expected, revealing that regional economic aspects are relevant in determining Brazilians financial well-being.
