This research report defines and outlines the issue of financial debt for young Australians aged 12 to 17 years and their families. It explores: which young people have financial debt and associated debt management issues; the level of debt experienced by young people; the means by which young people accrue debt; and young people’s capability to manage or avoid debt. The project was commissioned for the National Youth Affairs Research Scheme (NYARS).
