Özet:

Financial literature, which is one of the skills of financial awareness of the 21st century, has become a new concept in the core policies and strategies of the countries with its growing importance in recent years. The topic of financial literature in Turkey has attracted interest especially after the years 2008-2009, when the effects of the global financial crisis were very sensitive. Therefore, the history of financial literature in Turkey is in a position of a present concept that is not too old. Many researchers, academics, institutions and organizations have conducted research on financial literature in Turkey, implemented social responsibility projects aimed at awareness of society, educational programs continued, reports were presented. In this study, the general status of financial literary activities in Turkey and the research in literature in the framework of the financial literary levels have been attempted to be revealed according to the different demographic characteristics of individuals in our country. According to the findings obtained, the level of financial literacy in Turkey is quite low, the new research and activities to be carried out are more comprehensive and updated. In the research and activities that will be carried out to identify and increase the level of financial literacy of Turkey, it is important and necessary to pay attention to the following: First of all, the number and scale of work that will cover the level of financial literature of Turkey is quite limited and insufficient. In this regard, it is necessary that the state, as a state policy, organizes, guides and follows the necessary sub-structure and work stakeholders by bringing together the relevant work. A significant part of the research and educational activities done so far have been built on the university youth. All the activities of this department in the future are extremely important in order to be prominent and decision-making in the country's administration. However, considering that the high non-assigned section, which forms a large population of the country, is also involved in social life and investment, it is extremely important and necessary that the work to be done in the future will gain intensity on the household population. The basis of financial literature education is to be given from the minimum primary school level is a fact accepted in world literature. With regard to the studies carried out in our country, research and educational activities at the primary and secondary level towards the level of individuals are extremely insufficient. Pre-university target groups, as in developed countries, should be conducted in advance, taking into account the demographic characteristics of research and organizing the financial training program to the findings.
