Abstract

[eng] Strategies and Practices of Large Companies in Terms of Economic and Financial Information and Formation.. Economic agents today must operate in an increasingly uncertain environment. As a result, economic and financial education (EFE) has become a major concern : citizens need tools to make sound economic and financial decisions under risk. Public actors typically enjoy the highest legitimacy in the public’s eye to carry out educational initiatives. However, they lack the financial resources to assume that responsibility alone. Large companies have a key role to play in improving economic and financial literacy among their employees and should also take part in a nationwide effort to teach every citizen about economics and personal finance. France lags well behind other countries -especially the Anglo-Saxon countries and some of the European countries -in terms of EFE. Up until now, most private educational initiatives have received limited media coverage. This article provides some insight on what could be done to allow a greater implication of the private sector, providing that governments act as catalysts to promote EFE. . Classification JEL : G18, M14. . . [fre] Aujourd’hui, les agents économiques évoluent dans un environnement de plus en plus incertain. L’éducation économique et financière (EEF) devient un enjeu majeur. Il faut doter les citoyens des outils nécessaires pour leur permettre de prendre des décisions économiques et financières adaptées et d’en maîtriser les risques associés. Les acteurs publics disposent du plus grand potentiel de confiance auprès de l’opinion pour mener des actions d’EEF rendues indispensables par la crise, mais manquent de moyens financiers pour en assumer seuls la responsabilité. Aussi les grandes entreprises ont un rôle à jouer pour améliorer la culture économique et financière de leurs collaborateurs et contribuer au travail de formation à l’économie et à la finance personnelle auprès du plus grand nombre. Par rapport aux pays anglo-saxons et à certains pays européens, la France accuse un retard certain dans ce domaine. Alors que les initiatives privées actuelles restent peu valorisées et peu médiatisées auprès de l’opinion publique, cet article offre des pistes pour permettre une plus forte implication des grandes entreprises dans l’EEF, sous réserve que l’État donne un sens à cette démarche. . Classification JEL : G18, M14.
