Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/08/2024 (428 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In a new survey from TD Bank, nearly half of Canadian students say they are unable to adequately cover basic needs such as food and housing.
The online poll found 45 per cent of those surveyed say the cannot cover their basic needs.
The report also says that 65 per cent of students define themselves as financially unstable.
Of the students surveyed, 64 per cent say they have some form of a budget to track their expenses, but only 41 per cent say they are able to follow it on a regular basis.
The report also found that 94 per cent of parents of post-secondary students say they provide some level of financial support to their child.
Fifty-eight per cent said they provide a significant amount of support.
The online survey was done between July 26 to Aug. 4 and included 514 post-secondary students and 515 parents of children enrolled in post-secondary school.
The poll cannot be assigned a margin of error because online polls are not considered truly random samples.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 27, 2024.
