    Kids in the UK between the age of eight and 15 are ‘earning’ almost £13 a week – equating to just over £660 a year – according to a new report.

    The annual report by AXA Investment Managers highlights how children under 16 are becoming increasingly savvy about managing their money. However, the research reveals how there is a gap in financial education at schools.

    To tell us more we were joined by Declan Wilkes from MyBnk and Hazel Pitchers from AXA IM.
