The societal impacts of this delayed ability to launch: higher student debt, delayed family formation, delay having children, delayed lessons from early jobs. The kids are not alright.
BREAKING. Today’s job numbers show a persistent youth unemployment crisis. National youth unemployment remains at 14.2%, with 17.4% of returning students STILL unable to find a job (up 7.2 percentage points in the last 3 years). Canadian young people continue to suffer because.

Demonstrating another failure of public education and then post- secondary, especially arts programs. The inability to demonstrate a basic understanding of right vs. wrong should be a fundamental outcome of education.
