  7. One in five young adults is over-indebted Over-indebtedness is where people report that keeping up with bills and commitments is a ‘heavy burden’ and/or they have fallen behind with or missed payments in at least three of the last six months. Those aged 25-34 are the age group most likely to be living with a debt problem (one in four or 2.1m). UK average is 16%, just under one in six adults. This rises to one in five 18-24 year olds, with geographical hotspots where it is higher. Over-indebted 18-24 year olds are less likely to be finding their debts a heavy burden, but more likely than other age groups to be missing payments.

  13. Awareness and Holding of Credit and Loan Products HSRC Social Attitude Survey 2015 • Awareness of different types of formal and informal credit and loans remains fairly constant across age groups • However, the holding of credit and loans follows the same inverted u-curve pattern that is mirrored in the self-reported indebtedness measure (lifecycle effect)

  14. Self-reported indebtedness Are there age group differences in levels of self-reported indebtedness? • Reported current over-indebtedness follows an inverted u-curve across the lifecycle • It increases progressively from around a tenth of those in their late teens (9%) to a high of 26% of those aged 35-49 years • It falls again to slightly below a fifth of older cohorts. • Above-average levels of reported over-indebtedness are apparent among those aged between 25 and 50 years • Likely to at least partially reflect additional financial commitments associated with the transition to adult roles, especially marriage (and lobola) and parenthood.

  21. Young adults and life transitions There is a lot of evidence to indicate that key transitions in life – life events – offer a prime ‘teachable moment’ to improve financial capability for people of all ages. Young adults can go through many transitions – and increase their risk of accumulating debts – in navigating their own pathway to sustainable incomes and independent living after school. They can start off in a highly vulnerable state, for example if they are leaving care or facing homelessness – or they can experience vulnerabilities at any point during these transitions. We are looking to pilot interventions that reflect young adults’ true experiences of money management in these contexts. Promoting responsible use of credit among young people

  22. Near-to-peer is an approach we tested Near-to-peer is an established approach used in youth practice, which we tested in the context of financial capability. We used ‘exposure sessions’ in research labs to test our hypothesis that 16-21 year olds (young people) would respond well to ‘money stories’ told by near-to-peers aged 22-29 (young adults). Empathy with the ‘just like me’ message was found to produce a change of attitudes and of planned behaviours among participating 16-21 year olds. We are looking at the feasibility of piloting near-to-peer interventions in real-life settings and contexts. Promoting responsible use of credit among young people
