Young Canadians faring well, earning more in today's economy: Desjardins

Young, educated workers today are earning more than in previous generations, according to a new report from Desjardins.

But it's not all rosy for young Canadians, with women in particular facing declining mental health and ongoing barriers in the labour market.

The new report from Desjardins is the first in a series looking at how young Canadians are faring in today's economy.

"The narrative around how young people are faring tends to have a negative tone," said Randall Bartlett, senior director of Canadian economics for Desjardins and co-author of the report.
