Resumen

Introduction: The insufficient capacity and knowledge of the basic economic and financial elements that undeveloped countries have, constitutes a problem that hinders social progress. The need to make up for this shortcoming, through Financial Education, takes on special importance within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals, the context in which the document presented here is inscribed, in an attempt to establish the way in which Financial Education can impact the achievement of the SDGs. Methodology: It involves a bibliographic review, which proceeds in accordance with the correlational nature that becomes a description during its development and allows us to account for the fulfillment of the research purposes: establishing the articulation of Financial Education – SDG. Results: The tracking and monitoring of the concepts that have defined Financial Education has allowed us to reveal insufficiency, imprecision, if not bias in them. Discussion: Provided with the focus on the capabilities component of the Theory of Human Development, the authors build a conceptual definition of Financial Education which they then propose as an instrument for achieving these Objectives. Conclusions: The link between Financial Education and SDG is achieved by articulating its conceptualization from the Theory of Human Development.
