Accomplishment and Tasks of Target Areas in the Consumer Education Fact Sheet

ーFrom the Consciousness Survey on Consumption Behavior of University Studentsー

Abstract

A survey on the Consumer Education Fact Sheet from the National Institute on Consumer Education (NICE) was conducted in order to investigate if university students could achieve the targets by area, and to verify whether the targets are effective for developing independent consumers. The survey results indicated that the target areas were achieved to some extent. However, subjects showed low interest with no accompanying action in some areas such as the environment. A reexamination is needed to evaluate effective combinations of areas and targets.
