Employers are encouraged to provide financial literacy training and mentorship, especially for younger workers like Gen Z, who show a strong need for financial guidance. Studies indicate that financial literacy is low across all generations, with Gen Z scoring the lowest. Employers can improve employee engagement and loyalty by offering financial education, competitive wages, and other tangible benefits.

Will Agree Without Iran
Saudi Arabia is prepared to agree on an oil production freeze with other producers even without Iran's participation, as stated by a high-ranking OPEC country representative to the Financial Times. A meeting in Doha on April 17 will discuss the freeze agreement. Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar, and Venezuela preliminarily agreed in February to freeze production at January levels. Iran intends to return to pre-sanction production levels to regain market share. Gulf country representatives previously linked the agreement to Iran's participation but are now questioning Iran's ability to rapidly increase production. Iran plans to increase production by 500,000 barrels per day after sanctions were lifted in January. The International Energy Agency reported a production increase of 220,000 barrels per day in February. OPEC Secretary-General Abdalla al-Badri mentioned the possibility of Iran joining the freeze in the future. An OPEC representative highlighted Russia's leading role in OPEC communications and improved relations with Saudi Arabia. Oil prices have risen over 50% since the beginning of the year, with recent consolidation around $40 per barrel.
Half Of All Power Plants Built Last Year Were 'Green'
The International Energy Agency reported that half of all new power plants built last year were renewable, marking a significant shift towards green energy. Renewables are now the second-largest source of electricity and are expected to surpass coal by the early 2030s. The European Union, China, Japan, the United States, and India are all projected to increase their renewable electricity generation. Despite these advancements, global temperatures are still expected to rise to unsustainable levels, even with current pledges to reduce carbon emissions. The upcoming UN COP21 climate talks in Paris are crucial for setting a direction for the energy sector's transformation. Companies are increasingly putting a price on carbon emissions, and a coalition has pledged to transition to 100 percent renewable energy.
