Abstract
Financial literacy has become an essential skill in the modern financial environment, especially among young investors who are increasingly participating in stock market activities. The growth of digital trading platforms and easy access to financial information have encouraged youth to engage in investment practices. However, this participation is often not supported by adequate financial knowledge, leading to uninformed decision-making and exposure to financial risks.
