Acting on a sudden urge to purchase something without a prior intention or plan to do so and without considering its long-term effects is regarded as impulse buying behavior. The convenience and automatization of online and mobile shopping have made impulsive purchases increasingly easier.
DigiConsumers is a multidisciplinary research project for identifying solutions to improve the economic and consumer skills of young people between the ages of 13 and 25 especially in digital environments.
Digitalisation has changed a number of everyday habits, such as consumption, savings and other money-related activities.
Actions to promote digital and economic skills require a comprehensive understanding of young people’s consumption habits and economic behaviours, as well as the factors that influence them in digital environments.
The aim of the study is to find practical solutions to improve young people’s economic and digital skills and to promote sustainable consumption.
DigiConsumers is a multidisciplinary consortium focusing on changes in the consumption cultures, consumption and economic behaviours and economic and digital skills of young people. The project will be carried out between 2019 and 2025 and it is funded by the Strategic Research Council (SRC) at the Academy of Finland.
Led by the University of Jyväskylä, the consortium also consists of University of Helsinki, University of Vaasa, Pellervo Economic Research PTT and Nuorten yrittäjyys ja talous NYT.
Assessing Financial Literacy – PISA and background
Game-based approaches and digital tools in financial education
Future teachers need to be confidently equipped to teach 21st century ICT skills. We investigated teaching self-efficacy (TSE) in ICT competencies among teacher students. We confirmed distinct ICT competencies among two cohorts from teacher training programs, and algorithmic. Regression analyses indicated TSE-biases regarding younger age, male gender, and a background in natural sciences, with significant interactions between age, gender, and having learned such ICT-skills already in school. The findings point to a need for tailored strategies in teacher education to mitigate TSE disparities.

This research report explores the perceived impact of current global crises—including the aftermath of COVID-19, the war in Ukraine, energy crisis, and inflation—on citizens aged 18 to 75 in Finland (n=1000), Sweden (n=1000), and the UK (n=1000). With data from June 2023, the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent global crises are delved into from various aspects, such as respondents’ perspectives on the effects of these crises on wellbeing, finances, consumption, and online behaviours.
