Project Title: A Comparative Analysis: Global best practices in financial education for youths
Project Overview: Most people start to make financial decisions when they enter adulthood, and some might find themselves regretting some of these decisions when they get older.

This project requires the intern to research the financial literacy and well-being initiatives for youths in other jurisdictions and synthesise takeaways for Singapore.
