お金の教育

• 読み: おかねのきょういく
• ローマ字: okane no kyoiku
• 漢字の分解: 金 (money) + 教 (teach) + 育 (nurture) → money education; financial literacy
• 発音: /o.ka.ne.no.kjoː.i.ku/

意味

Financial literacy education; teaching people about money management, investing, and personal finance.

Japan has traditionally avoided talking about money openly, and financial education was notably absent from school curricula. This changed dramatically when high school home economics began including investment education in 2022. お金の教育 represents a cultural shift — the growing recognition that financial literacy is essential, driven by inflation, the NISA boom, and anxiety about retirement savings. It's a buzzword in parenting and education circles.

例文

3. 日本のお金の教育の遅れが老後の不安に直結してると思う。
