MoneySense Research Panel

The MoneySense Research Panel is the largest survey ever undertaken in the UK into young people's behaviours and attitudes towards money.

Over two thirds of young people surveyed say that their money management skills have improved during the recession.

Fewer young people reported receiving a regular amount of money each month in 2009 compared to 2008 and 2007.

Many young people taking part in the survey had an increased understanding of the importance of managing their money and an improved attitude towards saving money. Others were more interested in family finances and had discussed finances with their parents.
