The Vanier Institute of the Family, a national, non-partisan research and advocacy organization dedicated to promoting the well-being of Canadian families, has published a research report on the financial health of Canada’s families each year for the past ten years.
Readers of The Wealthy Baker may be unlikely to see their families reflected in the 2008 report’s findings, which are drawn from up-to-date census and other data, and reflect national averages, not any one individual family. Nonetheless, I thought it might be interesting to provide a “snapshot” of family financial health across Canada. Where does your family fit?
