VANCOUVER—The unemployment rate among young Canadians aged 15-24 has increased substantially since 2022 and is reaching record highs, particularly given the absence of a recession, finds a new study published today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“Canada’s youth unemployment is a crisis and will have serious consequences in later years when youths today who are unable to secure work try to find steady employment as adults,” said Philip Cross, a senior fellow with the Fraser Institute and author of The Extraordinary Increase of Youth Unemployment in Canada.
