Given all this, do you think it's worth organizing separate lessons in schools designed to tell children about gambling addiction? That is, to tell children about gambling addiction separately from addiction in general - alcohol and drug addiction.
yes, I think schools should address these and other social issues more.
The problem is that in many countries financial education is not even addressed, who would have thought then that they would be able to talk about gambling addiction!?
I'm sure governments would spend much less money to include this approach in school preventively than in the future to remedy this situation.
Unfortunately, governments collect a lot from gambling but invest little of what they receive to invest in this area.
