| Sumario: | The "Financial Capability for All" and "Reduce Extreme Economic Inequality" Grand Challenges highlight the need for social work to address financial and economic issues. While there is growing interest in integrating financial and economic content into social work education, curricular change is challenging. This study examines social work students' perceptions of the importance of financial and economic content (FEC) in practice (N=466). Results show that younger students (under age 25) and those in mental health practice are less likely to view FEC as important. The study discusses implications for curriculum, practice, policy, and future research.
