Abstract
In Japan, people have long recognized the importance of financial literacy. Simultaneously, the Government has been actively promoting career education for young people on a nationwide basis. The purpose of career education is to teach young people the value of work and to enable them to independently choose a future occupation. The curriculum also includes many areas that enlighten them in monetary matters. Nevertheless, the fact of the matter is that the general public does not have an adequate understanding of the interrelationship between these two educational policies. Therefore, this paper examines the directions in which both of these policies are heading and explores an optimal format for both in the education of Japan’s youth.
