We hired researcher Roger Sauvé, president
of People
Patterns Consulting, to spend months digging through Statistics Canada data, with a focus on how the
income for different age
groups and genders has changed over the 30 - year period between 1978 and 2008, the most recent year for which the data is available.
In this video, Dr. LaVaughn Henry discusses how
income, spending / saving, and debt
patterns have changed over time among the 18 - 35 year - old age
group, using a variety
of publicly available data such as the Consumer Expenditure Survey and the Survey
of Consumer Finance.
