The importance of financial literacy formation among the youth of the country is substantiated, especially it is necessary for higher education seekers, which are potential carriers and future transmitters of knowledge and skills to the next generation. The essence and significance of financial literacy of a person are analyzed, and its main characteristics and features are described. The analysis of statistical information on the main components of the Financial Literacy Index of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development of the population of Ukraine was conducted based on such factors as age, sex, level of education and place of residence (city or village). It is established that the category of the young population of Ukraine needs knowledge and skills in financial literacy and rational financial behavior the most. The preconditions of the low level of the Financial Literacy Index of the young population of Ukraine are described. The main reasons for financial illiteracy are the lack of information, knowledge and skills on financial literacy acquired in the family and educational institutions.
