T. Rowe Price Parents, Kids & Money SurveyT. Rowe Price
T. Rowe Price’s 2017 Parents, Kids & Money Survey analyzed parent attitudes and behaviors that were associated with kids’ financial habits. The survey found that positive money behaviors and expectations among kids are often associated with parents’ decision to let their kids decide how to save and spend their money on their own, as well as modeling good financial habits. Conversely, troubling financial habits among kids were more frequently seen when parents have a troubling history with money. Learn more in this deck.
T. Rowe Price: Understanding Investor Attitudes Toward RetirementT. Rowe Price
A new T. Rowe Price study revealed that nearly half (47%) of baby boomers and Gen Xers believe their ideal retirement is very attainable and another 45% believe it is somewhat attainable. The study included a national sample of 2,000 individuals age 36 or older who are either retired or who have taken initial steps to prepare for retirement.
Our seventh annual Parents, Kids & Money Survey revealed that parents are letting their kids, who are 8-14 years old, learn about money the hard way, but may not be having the appropriate financial conversations to help guide their decisions. Additionally, the survey found that a growing number of parents think that it is appropriate for schools to teach financial education, and 75% of parents think there should be a personal finance requirement to graduate high school.

The document discusses the financial hardship being experienced by many Iowa farmers. It notes that 20-30% of farmers are experiencing moderate to severe financial stress, and around 6,000 Iowa farms may fail. It then provides details on the financial status of Iowa farmers, with 10% in a strong position, 40% stable but with tight cash flow, 30% in a weak position where restructuring is likely needed, and 20% who are severely stressed and survival may be unlikely. It closes by discussing the importance for those in agriculture support roles to recognize signs of stress in clients and find ways to offer social and emotional support.
This document provides results from the 12th Annual Parents, Kids & Money Survey. It includes sections on conversations parents have with their kids about money, allowances and accounts for kids, financial knowledge and learning, household finances, and demographics. Some key findings include:

T. Rowe Price's 10th Annual Parents, Kids & Money Survey – Holiday Spending T. Rowe Price
The findings related to holiday saving and spending in T. Rowe Price’s 2018 Parents, Kids, & Money Survey found that parents who try to get everything on their kids’ holiday wish lists are more likely to report that they have gone into debt for their kids, worry that they’re spoiling their kids, and have kids who are less likely to save their own money. Additionally, parents who participate in promotional days, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, are more likely to splurge.
T. Rowe Price's Parents, Kids & Money survey revealed that kids who get an allowance are more money savvy than those who do not. The single biggest factor associated with financially knowledgeable kids, however, is whether their parents talk to them about money matters. Money lessons can be most powerful when parents combine conversations with experiences.
"Conversations can guide experience, and experience can put those conversations into practice—the two work together," says Judith Ward, a senior financial planner at T. Rowe Price.

October 2011 - market research by the National Consumer Agency on Irish consumers and household budgets - 64% of consumers say household income has decreased since the same time a year ago
Women are taking on more responsibility for household finances, with 28% solely managing the budget. Both genders are looking to save more and pay down debt in the coming year due to rising costs of living outpacing income growth. Banks can help by rewarding loyal customers, tailoring services, and lowering fees. When researching financial products, both genders prefer to speak with their bank in person.

Yougov Speakers for Schools Poll of MPs, business & young people May - June ...Youth Card
Only 15% of students said that access to workplace experience would help them ‘make up for lost time due to the pandemic’. However, 37% of business leaders think that access to workplace experience will help young people recover from the effects of the pandemic. There is a disconnect here.
Counselling/mental health support (21%), more personal tutoring (21%) and participation in sports (20%) are at the top of young people’s lists in terms of post-pandemic priorities. While all of the above are indeed very important for young people’s mental, physical and academic wellbeing, it could be argued that there’s a need to stress the importance of pursuing career-progression opportunities via work experience that are available to them thanks to initiatives such as virtual work experience. This is where charities such as Speakers for School can play an important role, especially as there appears to be a lack of consensus within the business community as to who holds the responsibility to help young people get their ca
The document discusses research conducted by Speakers for Schools and YouGov on young people's experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and their hopes and expectations as restrictions are lifted. Key findings from surveys of over 2,000 young people, 100 MPs, and 100 business leaders are presented. Interviews with 13 young people provide further insights. The research found that young people's educational experiences varied greatly during lockdowns. Remote learning was challenging and disrupted their mental wellbeing and social development. Work experience and career support are top priorities as they seek to overcome barriers from the pandemic's impact. While there is consensus more support is needed, gaps remain in how young people, politicians, and employers perceive the issues and responsibilities involved. Recommendations

’Tis the season to be jolly — but it’s not so jolly for many consumers, as the holidays can cause financial stress and often put consumers into debt. According to a nationwide survey from Experian, the primary reason is that most consumers don’t create budgets and are unprepared to cover added expenses beyond gifts, such as postage costs, hostess gifts, gift-wrapping supplies and greeting cards.

Millennials are a generation born between 1980-2000 that will have an estimated $1.4 trillion in spending power by 2020. They are more racially diverse, less religious, and were the first generation to come of age in a digital world. Millennials prioritize social causes, experience, and reviews from friends over traditional advertising. They are optimistic yet burdened by student debt and distrustful of institutions. Millennials expect companies and brands to share their values and provide convenient, personalized shopping experiences through multiple channels including mobile.

This document discusses 7 common mistakes women make with their financial planning. The first mistake is not having a financial plan. Women are more likely than men to not have a comprehensive plan and only guess at how much they need for retirement. Having a financial plan leads to saving more money annually and accumulating significantly more in retirement savings. The second mistake is taking time off from work which can reduce lifetime earnings, benefits, and social security income. The third mistake is not saving enough for financial independence. Women on average contribute less to 401k plans and have less savings than men. The fourth mistake is investing without a plan. Many women do not know how their assets are invested or feel uninformed about investing. The fifth mistake is taking care of

COVID-19 has significantly impacted many of the results in the review. For example, the top priorities for jobseekers this year were salary and job security, which is a shift away from last year’s top priority, work environment.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

Natural Language Processing (NLP), RAG and its applications .pptxfkyes25
1. In the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP), knowledge-intensive tasks such as question answering, fact verification, and open-domain dialogue generation require the integration of vast and up-to-date information. Traditional neural models, though powerful, struggle with encoding all necessary knowledge within their parameters, leading to limitations in generalization and scalability. The paper "Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks" introduces RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), a novel framework that synergizes retrieval mechanisms with generative models, enhancing performance by dynamically incorporating external knowledge during inference.
