There are many lessons to be learned from ‘Rich Dad’ from the world bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad. One of them is to ‘teach your children the knowledge of money’. Even the world’s richest Jews are known to have their children educated in economics from an early age.
Even in Korea, there is a growing awareness that early economic education is important, but there are many parents who are worried because they do not know how. The Korea Economic Daily’s ‘Junior Smile’, an economic and essay newspaper for elementary and middle school students, is expected to meet the demand for early economic education. Hankyung already publishes the economics and essay newspaper ‘Shingeulsaenggle’ (24 pages per week) for middle and high school students. With the launch of Junior Sangglesingle, Hankyung has a lineup of ‘family economic newspaper’ that includes elementary and junior high school students, middle and high school students, and adults.
In an era of increasing uncertainty in employment, real estate, etc., it is not an exaggeration to say that family’s economic understanding is directly related to family happiness. If parents subscribe to the Korea Economic Daily, junior and senior high school brothers and sisters, and elementary and junior high school students, subscribe to the junior smile, so that the whole family can be armed with solid economic knowledge. Among the readers who applied for a subscription, there were many reasons for saying, “I am a reader of Hankyung, and I want to read the economic newspaper that is suitable for children.” It has been confirmed that the habit of reading newspapers of ‘rich dads’ has a positive effect on their children.
