Shaping Young People’s Financial Futures Together
The ‘Shaping Young People’s Financial Futures Together’ report is the result of a unique partnership between Young Scot and the University of Edinburgh’s Compassion in Financial Services Hub which aims to ensure that young people’s voices, experiences, and ideas are at the heart of creating more inclusive and accessible financial solutions for them. Together, we believe we can help empower young people with the knowledge, tools, and opportunities they need for a more positive financial future.
This report brings together the voices of young people across Scotland to explore how money and financial services can better support them now and in the future. It is based on a survey of 300 young people aged 11–24, co-design workshops with over 50 young people across four major Scottish cities, and interviews with 14 professionals with experience of designing and delivering youth financial products and services. This means the findings aren’t just about young people, but shaped with them.
