  • Finance and the economy

Description

This unit develops pupils' knowledge and understanding of the UK economy and helps them appreciate its relevance to them.

Understanding what the UK economy has to do with them builds on pupils existing knowledge of personal finance and basic economic concepts. The unit helps pupils connect macroeconomic concepts to their personal experiences, such as income, credit, debt and taxation. By learning these concepts now, pupils can better understand how economic policies and trends affect their future decisions and prospects.
