Article Abstract:
Based on a national survey of 1805 Canadians in the age group of 12 to 24, factors that help in predicting saving behavior of young people are identified. The study indicates that students who are part-time workers, and adolescents who are achievement oriented, are more likely to save for their future education or future prospects.
