Attitudes Toward Institutional Features And Savings In Individual Development Accounts: Latent Class Analysis, Chang-Keun Han, Michael Sherraden

This exploratory study focuses on classifying attitudes toward institutional features of Individual Development Accounts (IDAs).

Findings suggest most of the young children in the study have a general understanding of college and have begun the process of choosing higher education. Further, the perception that saving is a way …
