Nudge research: 2024 Global financial wellbeing report

Annual analysis of global trends highlights a strong desire for security

The wellbeing index asks more than 11,500 respondents around the world how they feel about their personal finances. 

This year, statements about financial wellbeing range from sentiments of hope to vulnerability. But since the 2023 report, the number of positive sentiments made by respondents about money have increased, while there have been fewer negative ones.

The report investigates the level of awareness and understanding among employees of the importance of having a target to achieve when it comes to personal finance goals, and the connection between goals, plans and support for financial wellbeing. 

Key findings

  • 59% of people have an ‘informal’ financial plan which, for 44% of them, does not extend further than three years ahead
  • The two top goals for financial wellbeing are to feel secure (94%) and grow a savings account (90%)
  • 43% of employers are confident they know how to support employees to achieve their financial goals.
