Food insecurity, not having consistent access to adequate food for active, healthy lives for all household members, is most common among low income households. However, income alone is not sufficient to explain who experiences food insecurity. This study investigates the relationship between financial literacy and food security. We find that low income households who exhibit financial literacy are less likely to experience food insecurity.
粮食不安全,即并非所有家庭成员都能持续获得充足食物以过上积极健康的生活,在低收入家庭中最为常见。然而,仅靠收入不足以解释哪些人会经历粮食不安全。本研究调查了金融知识与粮食安全之间的关系。我们发现,具备金融知识的低收入家庭经历粮食不安全的可能性较小。
