  • Culturally and linguistically diverse communities' experiences with personal finance and the Implications for learning

    Our project aims to understand how individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds understand and learn about personal finance in Australia. Our focus is on understanding the needs of young people, in particular, those aged 18 -24 years of age. Collaborating with the Financial Basics Foundation, we aim to develop cross-cultural theories by gaining insights from our CALD participants in semi-structured interviews. Interviewees will have the opportunity to share their insights on: “How you learned to manage your money in Australia” “Any challenges with managing your money” “Any cultural differences with how money is managed in Australia” Our cohorts of interest are Chinese, Middle Eastern and non-English-speaking European immigrant communities. We offer interviewees a payment of $100 for their participation.
