A financial expert has commented that children need better debt management advice in school, so they can responsibly handle their finances later in life.
Ben Yearsley, who represents Hargreaves Lansdown has spoken out in order to get the government to begin educating the young on financial matters, in a bid to improve Britain's economic future.
Mr. Yearsley's comments follow news from the Personal Finance Education Group (PEFG) claiming over half of all British teenagers have experienced debt management problems by the time they are 17.
