This research aims to examine factors that influence junior high school students’ awareness of e-money to advance financial and economic education in the cashless era. The author analyzed questionnaire responses and interviewed teachers. Positive factors that influenced students’ desire to use e-money were knowledge of consumer life, and experience of success and failure. Negative factors were the fact that their experience managing money was predominantly through cash, and exposure to information on the disadvantages of e-money. The author found that, to ensure students learn the advantages and challenges of using e-money, it may be effective to extend information on e-money across subjects and areas based on the popularity of e-money in each region, and provide necessary information to students’ families.
