This paper aims at discussing how financial education can
contribute to equality of opportunity by improving financial – as well as
social and even digital – inclusion. Ad hoc programs have been gaining momentum
within the framework of sustainable development: despite some criticism, the
need to fight financial exclusion is widely felt and unquestionable support
stems from the 2030 Agenda that dates back to 2015. Its set of strategic goals
acts as a stimulus to emphasize the role of new methodologies – such as those
pertaining to e-teaching and e-learning – and to disseminate best practices
that may help to promote equal opportunities in terms of access to appropriate
financial Services; more recently, the global spread of covid-19 that has
influenced the financial system as well as the fiscal, professional and social
environments has stressed the importance of universalizing financial inclusion.
Conclusions are based on the obstacles ahead, which are worth meeting not only
for the good of the targeted organisations, like the unbanked and underbanked,
but also for society as a whole.
