Literasi Keuangan Anak: Pendidikan Keuangan Kreatif untuk Anak Usia Dini di Dusun Mojosari, Yogyakarta

Abstract

Based on data from the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the Financial Literacy index of the Indonesian people was at the level of 38.03% in 2019. This indicates that the level of children's financial literacy is still low. This is evidenced by their understanding of money only as a means of exchanging for food and toys, the allowance given by parents is always exhausted. This program is carried out through socialization and education activities directly related to the correct saving practices, and the practice of making piggy banks. This program starts from problem observation, designing program concepts, program implementation, and program evaluation. In Mojosari Hamlet, Piyungan, Sitimulyo, Bantul, there are no active activities regarding children's financial literacy. In fact, if you look at the condition of the children of Mojosari Hamlet, most of whom are at the kindergarten, elementary and junior high school levels, strengthening financial literacy is very necessary to provide for them in the future.  The implementation of the program was carried out offline. The results that have been achieved are handbooks on children's financial literacy and financial literacy education socialization programs which are expected to be able to increase the financial literacy knowledge of children in Mojosari Hamlet.
