Why are young people economically anxious about the future? The truth is, we don’t know

The economic anxiety felt by young Canadians is not artificial or misplaced. Failing to adequately locate and address the economic causes of anxiety in Canada’s young people is tantamount to feeling around in the dark for our future. It’s long past time for this issue to be given the thought and attention that it deserves.

Work that is available is also more precarious than what previous generations faced. The so called 'gig economy' has been a boon for consumers but is masking some serious underemployment issues for young people. This would in turn increase affordability issues. Indeed, unstable working arrangements could hinder opportunities for young people to pursue a career in their field, buy property, purchase a car, or travel, write Uswah Ahsan and Brett Byers.
