GMW 2018’s Theme: ‘Money Matters Matter!’

It is more important than ever for children
and youth to be economically equipped and
empowered to close inequality gaps and build a
brighter future!

Money Matters Matter because children and
youth need to receive the knowledge and
develop skills to make smart financial decisions
throughout life.
