چکیده مقاله :
This article examines the background and impact of financial literacy and the growth of scientific papers in the "Financial Literacy" field in the citation database "Web of Science". The methodology used is a meta-analysis of the "Scientometrics" type. The entire body of scientific literature published in the Web of Science reference database between 1900 and 2020 served as the study's statistical population. 2036 scientific papers on financial literacy published in this citation database formed the research sample in the first stage. In the second stage, 888 scientific documents with the keyword financial literacy in their titles were examined from the 2036 scientific documents to examine their conceptualizations. The results of this study show that financial literacy has received much attention in the last decade and that the geographical and linguistic distribution of scientific production in financial literacy is significantly heterogeneous and oriented towards developed Western countries. Therefore, it is suggested to pay more attention to this issue in developing countries.
