Researchers found that two factors help determine a foster youth’s financial capability: their age and whether they have supportive adults in their life who they can ask about finances.
As they get ready to age out of the foster care system, youths are more likely to have a job, have monthly bills or be involved in an independent living program, which is a federally funded program present in all states that helps prepare foster youths in their transition to adulthood, said Amy Salazar, assistant professor for human development at WSU Vancouver.
Salazar served as the lead researcher for the study, which began in 2014 and was published this year. Determining the factors contributing to foster youths’ financial capability was one part of a larger study that looked at financial challenges faced by youth in the foster system, efforts to help youth build financial capability and the concepts of financial capability, she said.
