Financial Literacy Determinants Survey of 1,400 Individuals in Southern Brazil

1,400 individuals in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, were surveyed to model financial literacy levels. The study by Ani Caroline Grigion Potrich used descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis to link literacy to socioeconomic and demographic variables. Most respondents (67.1%) were classified as having a low financial literacy level.

Use Cases

• Predicting financial literacy levels based on demographic variables like gender and age.
• Analyzing the impact of income and education on financial attitudes and behavior.
• Identifying vulnerable population segments for targeted financial interventions based on socioeconomic status.

Strengths

• Sample size of 1,400 individuals provides a basis for statistical analysis.
• Financial literacy is measured using three constructs: financial attitude, behavior, and knowledge.
• Analysis includes specific marginal effect percentages for key variables like gender (9.56%) and income (6.32%).

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown; field semantics must be inferred after download.
