Prince’s Trust Survey Findings: Canadian Results Only 28% of young Canadians think the education system provided them with the skills they needed to get a job 15% of youth are currently working multiple jobs and of those, 33% need to work multiple jobs to cover basic needs. Of youth currently working, 29% currently work in a job with income that can vary week-to-week and where there is nothing preventing the employer from firing them on short notice. 76% think that providing young people with digital skills is necessary for Canada’s economic future.  57% are interested in a ‘green’ job, but only 48% think they have the necessary skills or qualifications, and only 30% think those jobs would be easy to find. 80% of young people reported that they have been impacted by the increased cost of living, with 54% experiencing a negative impact on their mental health, and 45% on their social life.
