Welcome
Welcome to Econ4U.org. Our goal is to teach economics and personal finance using interesting, informative, and real examples. Our economic education program presents facts on personal finance, business economics, entrepreneurship, and government spending in unusual venues such as movie theaters, restaurants, and bowling centers. Take our quizzes to see how much you know, or explore our resources to find out more about consumer loans like mortgages, student loans, short-term payday loans, credit reports, and car loans.
What is Econ4U?
Econ4U is an educational project of the non-profit Employment Policies Institute. Its economic education program presents facts on personal finance, business economics, entrepreneurship, and government spending in unusual venues such as movie theaters, restaurants, and bowling centers. We are reaching young people in non-academic environments where they are not intending to be taught! This unique approach sets us apart from all other financial literacy programs that exist today.
Econ4U teaches important economic concepts that are easy to understand and retain in a quiz-style format. Our cleverly designed "sound bites" not only educate, but also pique young people's interest to learn more about topics that affect them every day, including credit card debt, tax rates, profit margins, and saving.
Detailed explanations of the answers to questions presented in these venues are posted on this site as well as tips and information on important personal money matters.
