Financial education
In a world where individuals become increasingly responsible for their financial well-being, and where the complexity of financial markets and products is growing, financial education becomes crucial. Although it is well accepted to introduce financial education in compulsory education, there is no consensus on the optimal way to implement financial education. This book explores the current state and the future challenges of financial education in five European countries: Belgium, Estonia, Italy, Slovakia, and the Netherlands. Moreover, it provides a comprehensive review of the academic literature on financial literacy. The book is a product of a strategic partnership with professionals from 14 partners, including universities, secondary schools and intermediary organisations dealing with financial literacy promotion. The EUFin project supported by this partnership aims to develop evidence-based didactical material for financial literacy education for tertiary and secondary education levels and exchange best-practices.
Alleen mama
Alleenstaande mama’s worden al te vaak volledig in beslag genomen door hun moederrol en dagelijkse beslommeringen. De constante overlevingsmodus is vaak vermoeiend en eenzaam. In dit boek staat de alleenstaande mama centraal. Wat kan jij doen voor jezelf om te groeien van alleenstaande mama naar een gelukkig leven als ‘staande’ mama. Het boek reikt ‘zes sleutels’ aan tot persoonlijke ontwikkeling als noodzakelijke voorwaarde om in alle levensdomeinen te groeien (financiën, werk, opvoeding, omgang met je ex, zelfvertrouwen, evenwicht tussen werk en privéleven, gezondheid …). Het boek biedt voor de traditionele hulpverlener een kijk in het leven van een alleenstaande mama. Daarnaast biedt het een aanzet om op een oplossingsgerichte manier tegemoet te komen aan de noden en behoeften van de alleenstaande mama. Maar het is toch in de eerste plaats een zelfhulpboek voor elke alleenstaande mama. Het boek beoogt tegemoet te komen aan de vragen waar alleenstaande mama’s mee zitten en hoe ze daar zelf een antwoord op kunnen bieden.
Robert Triffin
With an emphasis on the ideas that shaped the postwar international system, Robert Triffin: A Life explores both the man and his work.

Architects of the Euro
Who were key figures in the making of European monetary union? Which ideas did they contribute to ensuring that monetary union would be sustainable? How prescient were they in identifying the necessary and sufficient foundations of a sustainable monetary union? This book provides the first systematic historical examination of key architects of European monetary union in the period before its launch in 1999. Using original archival and interview research, it investigates the intellectual and career backgrounds of these architects, their networking skills, and their own doubts and reservations about the way in which monetary union was being constructed. In the light of the later Euro Area, Architects of the Euro deals critically with not just their contribution to the making of European monetary union but also their legacy. The book brings together a distinguished group of scholars working on the history of Economic and Monetary Union.

Financing Quality Education for All
Funding, efficiency, and equity in education In OECD countries the average expenditure on primary and secondary education institutions is about 3.5% of GDP. The investment in education has large implications for economic development and the proper functioning of democratic institutions, as well as overall well-being. However, clear consensus and guidance on which system leads to the best educational outcomes is lacking. This volume describes the resource allocation for compulsory and special needs education for a selection of well-performing countries and regions on PISA tests. By studying the funding systems in well-performing countries and regions the authors identify the elements in the respective funding systems that are associated with best outcomes and have the ideal characteristics to pursue particular goals of education systems such as equity and efficiency. The funding methods of primary and secondary education as well as special needs education are covered. Ebook available in Open Access. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
