Area of Science:

  • Socioeconomics
  • Development Economics
  • Financial Inclusion

Background:

  • Youths in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) face significant poverty and exclusion from financial markets.
  • Adolescents constitute nearly half of SSA's population, impacting regional financial stability.
  • Social work interventions increasingly focus on improving youth economic functioning in SSA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate factors associated with youth saving behaviors using the financial capabilities framework.
  • To investigate the relationship between financial literacy, access, and financial capabilities and savings behaviors among Kenyan youth.
  • To assess the effectiveness of asset-based interventions for youth economic empowerment in SSA.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of baseline data from a social work intervention in Kenya (N = 3,965).
  • Application of the financial capabilities framework to understand saving behaviors.
  • Examination of associations between financial literacy (knowledge, socialization), financial access, and financial capabilities.

Main Results:

  • Adolescents reporting higher financial literacy and proximity to banks showed greater financial capabilities.
  • Financial capabilities partially mediated the link between financial literacy, access, and savings behaviors.
  • Findings support the positive impact of enhanced financial capabilities on youth savings.

Conclusions:

  • Investing in financial capabilities is crucial for improving youth savings behaviors in SSA.
  • Interventions should focus on boosting financial literacy and access to financial services for adolescents.
  • Asset-based interventions targeting youth economic empowerment are supported by these findings.
