• Abstract:

  This literature review article seeks to analyze the need for financial education in the lives of individuals, especially low-income young people entering the job market. The study raises possible resistance and obstacles to this category of knowledge due to Brazil's economic situation over the years and low exposure to available technology and these actions to disseminate said content. The aim is to demonstrate the contribution of knowledge in financial education to the country's economy, avoiding over-indebtedness and establishing a relationship between this knowledge and social entrepreneurship as a model linked to sustainable development and a possible path for peripheral young people, with a constant need for updating educators. The relationship between financial education and meeting the Sustainable Development Goals is also verified. Due to the need for research analysis in the current socioeconomic context, 11 materials from the year 2021 were collected on Google Scholar with the keywords "financial education" "social entrepreneurship" "young people" "low income", but after reading only one was verified course completion work that meets this research. Therefore, a gap was detected in the study of the relationship between financial education and social entrepreneurship in the lives of low-income young people, an association which is being addressed in this article.
