    Description:

    The evolution of the wealth, assets and debts of various groups of Canadians since the late 1990s has been documented in several studies. Yet little is known about the evolution of the wealth holdings of unattached men and women aged 50 and older, who make up a large part of the population. This study assesses how the wealth holdings of unattached men and women aged 50 and older evolved from 1999 to 2016 using data from the Survey of Financial Security of 1999, 2005, 2012 and 2016, and fills this information gap.

  • 1. Indebtedness and financial vulnerability among families of immigrants and Canadian-born people - Open in new window/tab
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202601000001
    Description: Family indebtedness in Canada has risen over the past decade, while immigration has become the principal driver of population and labour force growth. Although previous research has examined wealth accumulation among immigrants, less is known about their indebtedness and financial vulnerability in the post-2016 period. This study uses data from the 2016, 2019 and 2023 Survey of Financial Security. It compares indebtedness among recent immigrant families, established immigrant families and Canadian-born families at comparable stages of the life cycle. Measures include total debt and its components, the debt-to-income and debt-to-asset ratios, indebtedness excluding mortgage debt, short-term credit behaviour, and the prevalence of having no financial wealth.
