However, not much research was conducted on how parental financial education during childhood influenced the financial behaviour of an adult. Based on data from the DNB Household Survey, this relationship was studied through multiple linear regression analyses for each of the three variables measuring financial behaviour, i.e., saving attitude, investment behaviour and money management. The results showed a positive significant relationship for both saving attitude and investment behaviour. Money management was negatively impacted and became insignificant after the robustness analysis. Suggesting that in general, parental financial education positively influences adult financial behaviour. ER -
