    O obxectivo da investigación é determinar o nivel de fraxilidade financeira dos fogares galegos, así como analizar se as súas características sociodemográficas, económicas e condutuais se asocian con esta problemática, desde unha perspectiva comparada con respecto ao resto de comunidades autónomas. Partindo dos datos da primeira edición da Enquisa de Competencias Financeiras (ECF), obsérvase que, comparada con España, unha menor porcentaxe da poboación galega presenta situacións de fraxilidade financeira media ou alta. Ademais, os ingresos do fogar e a capacitación financeira do individuo son factores amortecedores da fraxilidade financeira (FF), tanto en Galicia coma no resto de España. Tamén, un maior nivel educativo reduce a probabilidade de experimentar un alto nivel de FF autopercibida individual, mentres que a relación contraria se experimenta cando se habita nun fogar con menores a cargo. Estes resultados, similares en ambas as submostras, non ocultan diferenzas destacables. En comparación con España, o impacto da capacitación financeira resulta menos relevante en Galicia, mentres que a inclusión financeira se relaciona positivamente coa FF.

    The objective of this research is to determine the level of financial fragility experienced by Galician households, as well as to analyze whether the sociodemographic, economic and behavioural characteristics that they posess have any relation to this issue from a comparative perspective with respect to the other Autonomous Communities in Spain. Using the data from the first wave of the Survey of Financial Competences (abbreviated as ECF in Spanish), it has been observed that the percentage of those who are faced with medium or high financial fragility in Galicia is lower than in the rest of Spain. In addition, household income and one’s financial capability are buffering factors of financial fragility (FF), both in Galicia and in the rest of Spain. The higher the level of education received, the lower the probability of suffering from a high level of individual self-perceived FF, while the opposite relationship seems to be true for those living with dependent children. These results, which are similar in both subsamples, do not hide notable differences; in comparison with Spain, the impact of financial capability is less relevant in Galicia, while financial inclusion is positively related to FF.
