Girls Inc. Economic Literacy enhances girls' financial competence and
confidence, empowers girls to recognize early on that they can exercise
control over their financial future, and promotes within girls a sense
of economic justice.
Through interactive and engaging activities girls learn broad economic
concepts such as supply and demand, labor and management issues, taxes
and government services, and global economics. They also learn personal
financial skills such as how to identify and count money; save, invest,
and budget; take informed financial risks; and prepare for rewarding
careers. The program also gives girls the opportunity to explore issues
that particularly affect women and girls, such as equal pay for equal
work.
